CVE-2026-5271

HIGH CVSS: 7.8 Published: 2026-04-01 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

pymanager included the current working directory in sys.path meaning modules could be shadowed by modules in the current working directory. As a result, if a user executes a pymanager-generated command (e.g., pip, pytest) from an attacker-controlled directory, a malicious module in that directory can be imported and executed instead of the intended package.

Affected Platforms

Python Pymanager

Weakness Type

CWE-427
