Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
GHSA-27vj-qcqg-25rc affects the PyPI package fsspec, versions 0.9.0 up to but not including 2026.6.0. A ReferenceFileSystem reference JSON document, supplied inline or from a URL, is rendered through unsandboxed Jinja2 templates, so an attacker who controls that document can run arbitrary Python code on the victim's machine when it is opened. Upgrade to fsspec 2026.6.0 or later.
