This package runs tests with HOME to to /tmp. But software that creates files in $HOME (including Biopython itself) expect that this directory is only writable by trusted users, whereas /tmp is world-writable.

A malicious local user could exploit this flaw to force tests failure by creating the /tmp/.config file, preventing creation of $HOME/.config/biopython. It is likely that more sophisticated (and more harmful) attacks are also possible.
