 Package : python-pymysql Version : 0.9.3-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-36039 Debian Bug : 1071628

 It was discovered that there was a potential SQL injection attack in python-pymysql, a MySQL client library for Python. This was exploitable when python-pymysql was used with untrusted JSON input as keys were not escaped by the escape_dict routine.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.3-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your python-pymysql packages.

 For the detailed security status of python-pymysql please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-pymysql
