How to fix?

Upgrade rssn to version 0.2.9 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Low-Level Functionality through the CFFI interface. An attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the host process by supplying malicious parameters or instruction sequences to the JIT compilation engine. This is only exploitable if the process loads untrusted input through the CFFI interface or operates in a context where attacker-controlled data can reach the JIT engine.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by running the library within a restricted sandbox (such as WebAssembly, Docker with non-root user, or seccomp profiles), ensuring the process does not have administrative privileges, implementing application-level validation to sanitize data passed to the CFFI interfaces, or disabling the JIT engine if interpreter-only mode is available.
