    PYSEC-2019-199

    Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2019-06-06 19:29 - Updated: 2021-08-27 03:22
    VLAI
    Details

    A code injection issue was discovered in PyXDG before 0.26 via crafted Python code in a Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file. XDG_CONFIG_DIRS must be set up to trigger xdg.Menu.parse parsing within the directory containing this file. This is due to a lack of sanitization in xdg/Menu.py before an eval call.
