What happened
Security researchers at RunSybil found a flaw in the Python interpreter that could let a booby-trapped AI model break out of its safety sandbox and run commands on the server hosting it. The Python maintainers disagree that the interpreter is responsible for this, but a fix has been added to several Python versions.

What to do
- If you run Python 3.13, 3.14 or 3.15, apply the CPython fix that was backported to those branches.
- If you host customer-uploaded models, do not rely on a template sandbox as your only security boundary.
- Plan an upgrade path off Python 3.12, which did not receive the backport.
