What to do

AI-suggested

Red Hat has published security advisories for CVE-2025-69872. Users should consult the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-69872 and the errata RHSA-2026:3713 for official remediation guidance. Until patched, restrict write access to the cache directory to trusted users only to mitigate exploitation risk.

Description

DiskCache (python-diskcache) through 5.6.3 uses Python pickle for serialization by default. An attacker with write access to the cache directory can achieve arbitrary code execution when a victim application reads from the cache.
