Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Unsafe Dependency Resolution via the loading process for custom Python rules and configuration files from user-writable locations without validating ownership or permissions when executed with elevated privileges. An attacker can execute arbitrary code with root privileges by placing a malicious file in the expected configuration directory. This is only exploitable if the application is run with elevated privileges, such as via sudo, especially in environments where passwordless sudo is permitted.
**
Workaround**
This vulnerability can be mitigated by ensuring that directories containing custom rules and configuration files are owned by root and are not writable by non-root users. Administrators may also audit existing custom rules before running the tool with elevated privileges.
