7.5 highEPSS 2.1%

High (7.5) in python pyxdg. EPSS 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in pyxdg 0.26.

A code injection issue was discovered in PyXDG before 0.26 via crafted Python code in a Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file. XDG_CONFIG_DIRS must be set up to trigger xdg.Menu.parse parsing within the directory containing this file. This is due to a lack of sanitization in xdg/Menu.py before an eval call.
