Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CPython (affected versions not specified)
Description The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files using SourcelessFileLoader is incorrectly handled within FileLoader, a base class. This results in the failure to utilize io.open code() when reading these .pyc files. Consequently, sys.audit handlers for the associated audit event do not activate as expected.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
