Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2024-11-25 20:00:26 UTC

I was able to reproduce this in uv 0.5.2 and earlier. It appears to be fixed or mitigated in uv 0.5.3 and later. I have asked upstream to comment on whether they believe the issue is entirely dealt with, or whether there is further work to be done, in “Please comment on CVE-2024-53899 and virtualenv activation scripts,” https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/9424.

In any case, uv 0.4.30 as currently shipped in Fedora 39 *is* affected by this issue. However, Fedora 39 is one day from its end-of-life date, so it is too late to fix this.
