Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A vulnerability has been identified in the ImageClassificationDataset.from_csv() API of the dmlc/gluon-cv repository, version 0.10.0. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary file write operations through improper handling of tar.gz files. The issue was disclosed on March 20, 2025 (NVD).
Technical details
