CVE-2025-55201

copier-org copier

Copier safe template has arbitrary filesystem read/write access

CVSS 4.0
8.5High

Official description

Copier library and CLI app for rendering project templates. Prior to 9.9.1, a safe template can currently read and write arbitrary files because Copier exposes a few pathlib.Path objects in the Jinja context which have unconstrained I/O methods. This effectively renders the security model w.r.t. filesystem access useless. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.9.1.
