Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the build string in package metadata during cache materialization. An attacker can cause files to be written outside the intended cache directory by supplying malicious package metadata containing path traversal components. This is only exploitable if a malicious or untrusted conda channel is used.
