Title
Conda-build Allows Arbitrary Code Execution via Malicious Recipe Selectors
Summary
Conda-build contains commands and tools to build conda packages. Prior to version 25.4.0, the conda-build recipe processing logic has been found to be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to unsafe evaluation of recipe selectors. Currently, conda-build uses the eval function to process embedded selectors in meta.yaml files. This approach evaluates user-defined expressions without proper sanitization, which allows arbitrary code to be executed during the build process. As a result, the integrity of the build environment is compromised, and unauthorized commands or file operations may be performed. The vulnerability stems from the inherent risk of using eval() on untrusted input in a context intended to control dynamic build configurations. By directly interpreting selector expressions, conda-build creates a potential execution pathway for malicious code, violating security assumptions. This issue has been patched in version 25.4.0.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 25.4.0, la l\u00f3gica de procesamiento de recetas de conda-build era vulnerable a la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario debido a la evaluaci\u00f3n insegura de los selectores de recetas. Actualmente, conda-build utiliza la funci\u00f3n eval para procesar selectores incrustados en archivos meta.yaml. Este enfoque eval\u00faa expresiones definidas por el usuario sin la debida depuraci\u00f3n, lo que permite la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario durante el proceso de compilaci\u00f3n. Como resultado, se compromete la integridad del entorno de compilaci\u00f3n y se pueden realizar comandos u operaciones de archivo no autorizados. La vulnerabilidad se deriva del riesgo inherente de usar eval() en entradas no confiables en un contexto dise\u00f1ado para controlar configuraciones de compilaci\u00f3n din\u00e1micas. Al interpretar directamente las expresiones del selector, conda-build crea una posible v\u00eda de ejecuci\u00f3n para c\u00f3digo malicioso, violando las suposiciones de seguridad. Este problema se ha corregido en la versi\u00f3n 25.4.0."

Prior to version 25.4.0, the conda-build recipe processing logic has been found to be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to unsafe evaluation of recipe selectors. Currently, conda-build uses the eval function to process embedded selectors in meta.yaml files. This approach evaluates user-defined expressions without proper sanitization, which allows arbitrary code to be executed during the build process. As a result, the integrity of the build environment is compromised, and unauthorized commands or file operations may be performed. The vulnerability stems from the inherent risk of using eval() on untrusted input in a context intended to control dynamic build configurations. By directly interpreting selector expressions, conda-build creates a potential execution pathway for malicious code, violating security assumptions. This issue has been patched in version 25.4.0."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
