CVE-2020-15271 Information

Description

In lookatme (python/pypi package) versions prior to 2.3.0 the package automatically loaded the built-in \terminal\ and \file_loader\ extensions. Users that use lookatme to render untrusted markdown may have malicious shell commands automatically run on their system. This is fixed in version 2.3.0. As a workaround the lookatme/contrib/terminal.py and lookatme/contrib/file_loader.py files may be manually deleted. Additionally it is always recommended to be aware of what is being rendered with lookatme.
