CVE-2026-34444
Description
A flaw was found in Lupa, a tool that integrates Lua or LuaJIT2 runtimes into CPython. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by bypassing attribute filtering mechanisms when accessing attributes through built-in functions like getattr and setattr. This inconsistency in applying security restrictions can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the system.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
