CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

tqdm is a Fast, Extensible Progress Meter.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution due to using git insecurely. When importing tqdm, the tqdm._version module will run git log -n 1 --oneline in order to check if the user is running a pre-released version. An attacker can craft a repository with a malicious git log in the current working directory.
