{"cve":"CVE-2020-15271","nvd":{"published":"2020-10-26T18:15:14.480","modified":"2026-06-17T02:56:23.993","status":"Modified","description":"In lookatme (python/pypi package) versions prior to 2.3.0, the package automatically loaded the built-in \"terminal\" and \"file_loader\" extensions. Users that use lookatme to render untrusted markdown may have malicious shell commands automatically run on their system. This is fixed in version 2.3.0. As a workaround, the `lookatme/contrib/terminal.py` and `lookatme/contrib/file_loader.py` files may be manually deleted. Additionally, it is always recommended to be aware of what is being rendered with lookatme.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-78"],"references":["https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme/commit/72fe36b784b234548d49dae60b840c37f0eb8d84","https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme/pull/110","https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme/releases/tag/v2.3.0","https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme/security/advisories/GHSA-c84h-w6cr-5v8q","https://pypi.org/project/lookatme/#history"],"products":["lookatme_project:lookatme"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:09:53.489947993+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2020-15271","score":0.0231,"percentile":0.8338,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-c84h-w6cr-5v8q","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-c84h-w6cr-5v8q","summary":"Markdown-supplied Shell Command Execution","modified":"2026-09-10T03:48:59.655044527Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"lookatme","purl":"pkg:pypi/lookatme","ranges":["<2.3.0"],"fixed":["2.3.0"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2020-61","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2020-61","summary":"","modified":"2023-11-08T04:02:36.260190Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"lookatme","purl":"pkg:pypi/lookatme","ranges":["<2.3.0"],"fixed":["2.3.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
