Unknown Unknown - Not Provided

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Conda-build contains commands and tools to build conda packages. Prior to version 25.3.0, the pyproject.toml lists conda-index as a Python dependency. This package is not published in PyPI. An attacker could claim this namespace and upload arbitrary (malicious) code to the package, and then exploit pip install commands by injecting the malicious dependency in the solve. This issue has been fixed in version 25.3.0. A workaround involves using --no-deps for pip install-ing the project from the repository.

How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can lead to the execution of arbitrary malicious code on your system when installing conda-build or related packages via pip. An attacker exploiting this could compromise your environment, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or system damage.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade conda-build to version 25.3.0 or later. As a workaround, when installing the project from the repository using pip, use the --no-deps option to avoid installing dependencies that could be malicious.


Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability involves the conda-build tool, which prior to version 25.3.0 listed a Python dependency called conda-index in its pyproject.toml file. Since conda-index is not published on PyPI, an attacker could claim this package name and upload malicious code under it. When users run pip install commands, the malicious dependency could be injected and executed, potentially compromising the system. The issue was fixed in version 25.3.0, and a workaround is to use the --no-deps option when installing from the repository to avoid installing dependencies.
