lib/WeBWorK/PG/Translator.pm in WeBWorK Program Generation (PG) Language before 2.3.1 uses an insufficiently restrictive regular expression to determine valid macro filenames, which allows attackers to load arbitrary macro files whose names contain the strings (1) dangerousMacros.pl, (2) PG.pl, or (3) IO.pl.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old WeBWorK PG Language flaw could let an attacker make the application load unintended macro files. For affected education or assessment platforms, that may undermine application behavior and trust in hosted problem content. The public bundle does not provide CVSS, exploit evidence, or detailed impact scoring. Exposure is mainly legacy WeBWorK PG Language deployments earlier than 2.3.1. The source bundle lists no affected CPEs and no vendor/product metadata beyond the description, so asset confirmation must come from local inventory. Treat as a targeted legacy-platform risk. Prioritize if WeBWorK still supports active coursework, exams, or externally reachable assessment workflows. Otherwise, handle through legacy software cleanup. Mitigation focus: Upgrade WeBWorK PG Language to version 2.3.1 or later.; Check WeBWorK release guidance for any additional remediation notes.; Remove or isolate legacy PG deployments that cannot be upgraded..
