Summary

PyVista version 0.46.3 is vulnerable to remote code execution via dependency confusion. The code uses --extra-index-url, and one listed package is not published in PyPI, so an attacker could publish a malicious higher-version package in PyPI that gets pulled.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to remote code execution and a supply chain attack, allowing an attacker to compromise build or runtime environments. No patched version is available as of publication.

Recommendation

Halt installation or builds using affected versions and verify packages pulled from external indexes. Monitor for a patched release and enforce version pinning and package hash verification.

Original NVD description (English source)

PyVista provides 3D plotting and mesh analysis through an interface for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). Version 0.46.3 of the PyVista Project is vulnerable to remote code execution via dependency confusion. Two pieces of code use`--extra-index-url`. But when `--extra-index-url` is used, pip always checks for the PyPI index first, and then the external index. One package listed in the code is not published in PyPI. If an attacker publishes a package with higher version in PyPI, the malicious code from the attacker controlled package may be pulled, leading to remote code execution and a supply chain attack. As of time of publication, a patched version is unavailable.
