CVE-2026-5713
MediumCVSS 5.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk5th percentile - higher than 5% of all known CVEs
Summary
The 'profiling.sampling' module (Python 3.15+) and 'asyncio introspection capabilities' (3.14+) could be exploited to read and write addresses in a privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or 'infected' Python process via the remote debugging feature.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may lead to unauthorized access to the memory of privileged processes, posing a serious security threat to the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to avoid using remote debugging features when connecting to untrusted processes and to update to the latest version of Python to minimize risk.
Original NVD description (English source)
The "profiling.sampling" module (Python 3.15+) and "asyncio introspection capabilities" (3.14+, "python -m asyncio ps" and "python -m asyncio pstree") features could be used to read and write addresses in a privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or "infected" Python process via the remote debugging feature. This vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be exploited, even after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR.
