Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the print_gvars function in the PDB parser. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands by crafting a malicious PDB file containing specially crafted symbol names with newline characters, which are then interpolated unsafely in the flag rename command. This is triggered when a user runs the idp command against the malicious file, leading to command execution through the shell execution operator.
