Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Exploitation Summary

CVE-2023-47248 has been observed exploited in the wild (reported by VulnCheck KEV). EIP tracks 1 public exploit from researchers including Prodigysec. A Nuclei detection template is also available.

AI-analyzed exploit summary The repository appears to be a partial or incomplete copy of the PyArrow library with no actual exploit code or technical details related to CVE-2023-47248. The README is a generic PyArrow documentation, and the files listed are standard library components without any PoC or analysis.

Description

Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in PyArrow versions 0.14.0 to 14.0.0 allows arbitrary code execution. An application is vulnerable if it reads Arrow IPC, Feather or Parquet data from untrusted sources (for example user-supplied input files). This vulnerability only affects PyArrow, not other Apache Arrow implementations or bindings. It is recommended that users of PyArrow upgrade to 14.0.1. Similarly, it is recommended that downstream libraries upgrade their dependency requirements to PyArrow 14.0.1 or later. PyPI packages are already available, and we hope that conda-forge packages will be available soon. If it is not possible to upgrade, we provide a separate package `pyarrow-hotfix` that disables the vulnerability on older PyArrow versions. See https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow-hotfix/ for instructions.
