Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

EPyT-Flow, a Python package, is vulnerable to unsafe JSON deserialization in versions before 0.16.1. Its REST API and JSON file loading use a custom deserializer that dynamically imports and instantiates attacker-specified classes when a __type__ field is present, which the source says can lead to OS command execution during parsing. The source does not state what access an attacker needs beyond supplying crafted JSON. Upgrade to epyt-flow 0.16.1, which contains the fix; until then, the source advises not loading JSON from untrusted sources and not exposing the REST API.
