Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - scikit-learn (aka sklearn) through 0.23.0 can unserialize and execute commands from an untrusted file that
 is passed to the joblib.load() function, if __reduce__ makes an os.system call. NOTE: third parties
