Associated Vulnerability
Title:pymatgen arbitrary code execution when parsing a maliciously crafted JonesFaithfulTransformation transformation_string (CVE-2024-23346)
Description:Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is an open-source Python library for materials analysis. A critical security vulnerability exists in the `JonesFaithfulTransformation.from_transformation_str()` method within the `pymatgen` library prior to version 2024.2.20. This method insecurely utilizes `eval()` for processing input, enabling execution of arbitrary code when parsing untrusted input. Version 2024.2.20 fixes this issue.
Description
This is a exploit for the known Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in the `pymatgen` (CVE-2024-23346) Python library by uploading a malicious `CIF` file to the hosted `CIF Analyzer` website on the target running on the Chemistry machine from Hack the Box.
