Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection via the accept process in the FEM Displacement Constraint task dialog, which passes user-supplied formula fields without proper escaping of backslashes. An attacker can execute arbitrary Python code with the application's privileges by crafting malicious input that is accepted through the dialog.
