AI-suggested
Upgrade pdm to version 2.27.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until then, avoid running pdm commands in untrusted repository checkouts or environments where attacker-controlled files may exist. Patch status is confirmed fixed in version 2.27.0.
Description
PDM, a Python package and dependency manager, versions up to and including 2.26.9 automatically load project-local plugins from a .pdm-plugins directory during initialization. This behavior allows an attacker-controlled file in an untrusted repository checkout to execute arbitrary Python code before any command is parsed. The vulnerability arises because the load_plugins() function runs during Core.init() and adds .pdm-plugins via site.addsitedir(), which processes .pth files and executes import lines immediately. This code execution occurs with the privileges of the user running pdm, affecting even benign commands like pdm --version. The issue is fixed in version 2.27.0.
