CVE-2024-56327
Malicious plugin names, recipients, or identities can cause arbitrary binary execution in pyrage
pyrage is a set of Python bindings for the rage file encryption library (age in Rust). pyrage uses the Rust age crate for its underlying operations, and age is vulnerable to GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w. All details of GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w are relevant to pyrage for the versions specified in this advisory. See GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w for full details. Versions of pyrage before 1.2.0 lack plugin support and are therefore not affected. An equivalent issue was fixed in the reference Go implementation of age, see advisory GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c. This issue has been addressed in version 1.2.3 and all users are advised to update. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
