Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass certain security checks.
The vulnerability exists in the character definitions of the Unicode Specification. The specification allows an attacker to produce source code identifiers such as function names using homoglyphs that render visually identical to a target identifier. Adversaries can leverage this to inject code via adversarial identifier definitions in upstream software dependencies invoked deceptively in downstream software.
