Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-59042)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a special entry being appended to sys.path during the bootstrap process of a PyInstaller-frozen application, and due to the bootstrap script attempting to load an optional module for bytecode decryption while this entry is still present in sys.path. A local user can trick the installer under certain circumstances into executing a malicious code and escalate privileges on the system.
