CVE-2024-23346
pymatgen arbitrary code execution when parsing a maliciously crafted JonesFaithfulTransformation transformation_string
HIGH 7.8EPSS 3.8%
Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is an open-source Python library for materials analysis. A critical security vulnerability exists in the `JonesFaithfulTransformation.from_transformation_str()` method within the `pymatgen` library prior to version 2024.2.20. This method insecurely utilizes `eval()` for processing input, enabling execution of arbitrary code when parsing untrusted input. Version 2024.2.20 fixes this issue.
