Machine-written summary

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

theshit versions before 0.1.1 load custom Python rules and configuration files from user-writable locations without checking ownership or permissions, even when run as root (for example via sudo). A local user who can place a malicious rule or configuration file can get arbitrary Python code executed with root privileges. Upgrade to theshit 0.1.1, which checks that rules and configuration files are owned by the effective user.
