CJK codecs tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP By default, the tests are not run with network resources enabled and so the Python test suite is safe. But if the Python test suite is run explicitly with the “network” resource enabled (-u network or -u all command line option), the CJK codecs tests of the Python test suite run eval() on content received via HTTP from pythontest.net. If an attacker can compromise the pythontest.net server, they gain arbitrary code execution on all buildbots. If an attacker has control over the network connection of a machine running the Python test suite, they gain arbitrary code execution there. make testall, make testuniversal and make buildbottest commands are impacted (pass -u all option to the test suite). The CI of the Python project is impacted (buildbot, Travis CI, GitHub Action, Azure Pipelines). With the fix, content is still retrieved via HTTP, but the unsafe eval() function is no longer used.
