How to fix?

Upgrade rpyc to version 6.0.0 or higher.

Overview

rpyc is a transparent library for symmetrical remote procedure calls, clustering, and distributed-computing.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when the server-side invokes the __array__ attribute, such as through np.array(x), making it critical for scenarios where untrusted input is processed.
