CVE-2019-7653 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:20.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rdflib package and not the rdflib package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The Debian python-rdflib-tools 4.2.2-1 package for RDFLib 4.2.2 has CLI tools that can load Python modules from the current working directory, allowing code injection, because "python -m" looks in this directory, as demonstrated by rdf2dot. This issue is specific to use of the debian/scripts directory.
