JSONPath Plus allows Remote Code Execution

Description

Versions of the package jsonpath-plus before 10.3.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper input sanitization. An attacker can execute aribitrary code on the system by exploiting the unsafe default usage of eval=’safe’ mode.

Note:

This is caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-21534.

Recommendation

Update the jsonpath-plus package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

• Affected version(s): < 10.3.0
• Patched version(s): 10.3.0
