pyvista is vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data
75
High Risk
This Affects:
pyvistaTL;DR
PyVista's pv.read accepts remote URIs and dispatches files with .pkl or .pickle extensions to pickle.load after downloading them. An attacker who can supply a URL passed to pv.read triggers arbitrary code execution during deserialization of the downloaded payload. The fix in _read_dispatch refuses remote pickle URIs before any download occurs and points callers to pyvista.read_pickle for explicitly trusted local files.

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
Background info
