Subject: [CVE-2026-5713] CPython: Out-of-bounds read/write
during remote debugging when connecting to malicious target
https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-5713 provides additional details
on the affected versions:
> The "profiling.sampling" module (Python 3.15+) and "asyncio
> introspection capabilities" (3.14+, "python -m asyncio ps" and "python
> -m asyncio pstree") features could be used to read and write addresses
> in a privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or
> "infected" Python process via the remote debugging feature. This
> vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the
> process to be exploited, even after the connecting process crashes
> with high likelihood due to ASLR.

There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.
The Python remote debugging feature could be used to read and write addresses in
a privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or "infected"
Python process via the remote debugging feature. This vulnerability requires
persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be exploited, even
after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR.
