CVE-2026-41206: PySpector has a Plugin Code Execution Bypass via Incomplete Static Analysis in PluginSecurity.validate_plugin_code
CVE-2026-41206 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-04-23
PySpector is a static analysis security testing (SAST) Framework engineered for modern Python development workflows. The plugin security validator in PySpector uses AST-based static analysis to prevent dangerous code from being loaded as plugins. Prior to version 0.1.8, the blocklist implemented in `PluginSecurity.validate_plugin_code` is incomplete and can be bypassed using several Python constructs that are not checked. An attacker who can supply a plugin file can achieve arbitrary code execution within the PySpector process when that plugin is installed and executed. Version 0.1.8 fixes the issue.
Yes. pyspector (PyPI): upgrade to 0.1.8 or later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-41206?
Check whether you run Parzivalhack Pyspector or pyspector (PyPI) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.
