Intel Distribution for Python lets unprivileged user bypass URL cleaning

CVE-2018-3650 · published 8 years ago
Summary

The Bleach component in Intel Distribution for Python (versions before the 2018 Update 2 release) does not check input properly. This allows a low‑privilege user to get around the program’s URL‑filtering controls, potentially inserting unsafe links. Upgrade to the 2018 Update 2 version or later, or apply the vendor’s patch, to fix the issue.

What to do
  • Update intel distribution_for_python to version 2018 or later.
