Pandas DataFrame.query Code Injection (Unpatched)

high Nessus Plugin ID 213084

Synopsis

The Pandas library installed on the remote host is affected by a code injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Pandas library installed on the remote host has an unpatched exposure. It is, therefore, affected by a code injection vulnerability in the pandas.DataFrame.query function. The function is intended to allow querying the columns of a DataFrame using a boolean expression. A malicious attacker can constructs a malicious query to bypass input validation mechanisms and trigger a code injection vulnerability which can lead to command execution if the code passes untrusted input into self.eval().

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

This vulnerability is currently not fixed. Fix the code manually or monitor new releases for a fix.
