PYSEC-2019-199

Quick fix

PYSEC-2019-199 — pyxdg: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pyxdg>=0.26'

Details

A code injection issue was discovered in PyXDG before 0.26 via crafted Python code in a Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file. XDG_CONFIG_DIRS must be set up to trigger xdg.Menu.parse parsing within the directory containing this file. This is due to a lack of sanitization in xdg/Menu.py before an eval call.
