Overview

ZODB3 is a ZODB3 - Meta release for ZODB, persistent, BTrees and ZEO

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to improper handling of ZEO database sharing and blob support. An attacker can read or delete arbitrary files by exploiting unknown vectors.

Note

This vulnerability is only exploitable when:

  1. Using ZEO to share a database among multiple applications or application instances,

  2. Allowing untrusted clients to connect to your ZEO server, and the ZEO server is configured to support blobs.
