Advisories for Pypi/Safety package

Reliance on Untrusted Inputs in a Security Decision

The safety package for Python has a potential security issue. There are two Python characteristics that allow malicious code to poison-pill command-line Safety package detection routines by disguising, or obfuscating, other malicious or non-secure packages. This vulnerability is considered to be of low severity because the attack makes use of an existing Python condition, not the Safety tool itself.
