Overview

rply is a pure Python Lex/Yacc that works with RPython

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure use of temporary file attacks. The parser cache functionality in parsergenerator.py in RPLY (aka python-rply) before 0.7.1 allows local users to spoof cache data by pre-creating a temporary rply-*.json file with a predictable name.
