recommenders-team vulnerabilities and threats

A security flaw has been discovered in recommenders-team recommenders up to 1.2.1. This impacts the function pickle.load of the file recommenders/models/newsrec/io/mind_iterator.py of the component Dict Loading. Performing a manipulation results in deserialization. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
