CWE CWE-95: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')
OWASP A03:2021 - Injection
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

Your code uses 'eval' or 'exec' to execute code that comes from external input, such as function arguments or event data. This practice is risky because it allows untrusted data to control code execution.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could run arbitrary Python code on your server, leading to data theft, service disruption, or a complete system compromise. This could expose sensitive information and undermine the security of your entire application.
