Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Home Assistant Command-line Interface (homeassistant-cli) versions before 1.0.0 render user-supplied Jinja2 templates locally in an unrestricted environment rather than a sandboxed one. A user who is tricked into downloading a malicious template and rendering it with the local option can run arbitrary code on their own machine; the issue does not affect remote Home Assistant instances. Upgrade to 1.0.0, which uses a sandboxed environment. Until then, review templates before rendering them.
