AI-suggested
Upgrade frictionless-py to version 5.19.1 or later. The vulnerability is fixed in 5.19.1 and also addressed in 5.20.0rc2. Avoid running the explore command on untrusted Data Package descriptors until patched.
Description
Frictionless before 5.19.1 contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the explore console command that allows an attacker who supplies a crafted Data Package descriptor to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the user who explores it. Attackers can place shell metacharacters in resource path values within a datapackage.json descriptor, which are passed unsanitized to os.system through a shell, causing arbitrary command execution in the victim's security context when they run the explore command against the untrusted package. This vulnerability was also addressed in version 5.20.0rc2 of the pre-release branch.
