Overview

rpyc is a transparent library for symmetrical remote procedure calls, clustering, and distributed-computing.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). It allows a remote attacker to dynamically modify object attributes to construct a remote procedure call that executes code for an RPyC service with default configuration settings.
