> I am changing the type to security as I dont think this is a behaviour issue. I don't understand why do you consider that it is a security vulnerability? >>> import hack_uname # Someone imports my module unaware of the hack (see attached file) Your exploit starts by running untrusted Python code. Never do that. The vulnerability is the ability to load unstrusted Python code, not to modify the platform module. I close the issue as not a bug. ---------- nosy: +haypo resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23748> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
