Description
DeepDiff versions 5.0.0 through 8.6.0 contain a critical vulnerability involving class pollution via the Delta class constructor. When combined with a gadget in DeltaDiff, this vulnerability enables insecure Pickle deserialization, potentially allowing remote code execution and denial of service. The flaw allows modification of deepdiff.serialization.SAFE_TO_IMPORT to include dangerous classes, such as posix.system, leading to arbitrary code execution if user-controlled input is passed to Delta. This vulnerability is fixed in version 8.6.1.
