Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2024-11-25 20:00:19 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 40 *is* affected by this issue. I will investigate whether a mitigation can be backported, or whether it makes sense to quickly ship an update to 0.5.3 or later to stable releases instead.
