{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091","details":"** DISPUTED ** pandas through 1.0.3 can unserialize and execute commands from an untrusted file that is passed to the read_pickle() function, if __reduce__ makes an os.system call. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because the read_pickle() function is documented as unsafe and it is the user's responsibility to use the function in a secure manner.","modified":"2020-05-15T19:15:00Z","published":"2020-05-15T19:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-06-23T15:53:41Z","references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2020-13091"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/0FuzzingQ/vuln/blob/master/pandas%20unserialize.md"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_pickle.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2020-13091"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.12.0-2ubuntu1","0.13.1-2ubuntu1","0.13.1-2ubuntu2"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.15.0-2","0.15.0-2ubuntu1","0.15.0-2ubuntu2","0.17.1-3ubuntu2"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.19.2-5.1ubuntu4","0.22.0-2ubuntu1","0.22.0-3","0.22.0-4","0.22.0-4ubuntu1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.23.3+dfsg-4ubuntu1","0.23.3+dfsg-4ubuntu5","0.23.3+dfsg-4ubuntu6","0.25.3+dfsg-4","0.25.3+dfsg-4build1","0.25.3+dfsg-7"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.1.5+dfsg-2","1.1.5+dfsg-2ubuntu1","1.3.5+dfsg-2","1.3.5+dfsg-2ubuntu1","1.3.5+dfsg-3"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pandas","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/pandas"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.3+dfsg-6","1.5.3+dfsg-6ubuntu1","1.5.3+dfsg-7ubuntu1","1.5.3+dfsg-10","2.1.4+dfsg-4ubuntu2","2.1.4+dfsg-7"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2020/UBUNTU-CVE-2020-13091.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
