PYSEC-2026-1375 filelock has a TOCTOU race condition which allows symlink attacks during lock file creation

Impact A Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use TOCTOU race condition allows local attackers to corrupt or truncate arbitrary user files through symlink attacks. The vulnerability exists in both Unix and Windows lock file creation where filelock checks if a file exists before opening it with OTRUNC. An attack...

Keras Directory Traversal Vulnerability

SummaryKeras's keras.utils.getfile function is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks despite implementing filtersafepaths. The vulnerability exists because extractarchive uses Python's tarfile.extractall method without the security-critical filter="data" parameter. A PATHMAX symlink resolutio...

PYSEC-2026-1795 pip's fallback tar extraction doesn't check symbolic links point to extraction directory

When extracting a tar archive pip may not check symbolic links point into the extraction directory if the tarfile module doesn't implement PEP 706. Note that upgrading pip to a "fixed" version for this vulnerability doesn't fix all known vulnerabilities that are remediated by using a Python versi...

llama-index-core insecurely handles temporary files

The llama-index-core package, up to version 0.12.44, contains a vulnerability in the getcachedir function where a predictable, hardcoded directory path /tmp/llamaindex is used on Linux systems without proper security controls. This vulnerability allows attackers on multi-user systems to steal...

OSEC-2026-10 opam install sandbox escape using symlinks

Summary Installing files through .install files do not check symlinks resolution of the target path, and so can bypass sandboxing. Exploit Let's imagine a test package whose test.install file looks like the following: shareroot: "test" "blah/pwnd" and test.opam file: opam-version: "2.0" install:...
