Cheetah 0.9.15 and 0.9.16 searches the /tmp directory for modules before using the paths in the PYTHONPATH variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malicious module in /tmp/.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Cheetah 0.9.15 and 0.9.16. The software may load modules from /tmp before trusted Python paths, letting a local user influence execution. Business risk is mainly for shared or multi-user systems still running these old versions. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Cheetah 0.9.15 or 0.9.16, especially where untrusted local users can write to /tmp and trigger Cheetah execution. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected versions exist on shared systems. If present in production with local user access, prioritize remediation because the impact is arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications for Cheetah 0.9.15 and 0.9.16.; Check vendor or project guidance for fixed versions or supported migration paths.; Reduce untrusted local shell access on systems running affected versions..
