Descriptions

tqdm is an open source progress bar for Python and CLI. Any optional non-boolean CLI arguments (e.g. `--delim`, `--buf-size`, `--manpath`) are passed through python's `eval`, allowing arbitrary code execution. This issue is only locally exploitable and had been addressed in release version 4.66.3. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

tqdm es una barra de progreso de código abierto para Python y CLI. Cualquier argumento CLI opcional no booleano (por ejemplo, `--delim`, `--buf-size`, `--manpath`) se pasa a través del `eval` de Python, lo que permite la ejecución de código arbitrario. Este problema solo se puede explotar localmente y se solucionó en la versión 4.66.3. Se recomienda a todos los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.

It was discovered that tqdm did not properly sanitize non-boolean CLI Arguments. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code on the host. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
