Overview

static-eval is a module to evaluate statically-analyzable expressions.

Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. If un-sanitized user input is passed to static-eval, it is possible to break out of the sandboxed instance, and execute arbitrary code from the standard library.
