EulerOS Virtualization 2.12.0 : python-ply (EulerOS-SA-2026-2112)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 319460

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python-ply packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 An undocumented and unsafe feature in the PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) library 3.11 allows Remote Code Execution (RCE) via the `picklefile` parameter in the `yacc()` function. This parameter accepts a `.pkl` file that is deserialized with `pickle.load()` without validation. Because `pickle` allows execution of embedded code via `__reduce__()`, an attacker can achieve code execution by passing a malicious pickle file. The parameter is not mentioned in official documentation or the GitHub repository, yet it is active in the PyPI version. This introduces a stealthy backdoor and persistence risk. NOTE: A third-party states that this vulnerability should be rejected because the proof of concept does not demonstrate arbitrary code execution and fails to complete successfully.(CVE-2025-56005)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization python-ply security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected python-ply packages.
