| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in calibre, an e-book manager. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute unauthorized code on a user's system. By creating a specially crafted e-book file (such as EPUB, OPF, or PDF) with malicious metadata, an attacker can trigger the execution of arbitrary Python code when the file's metadata is processed by calibre. This could lead to a complete compromise of the affected system.
