CVE-2026-33139: PySpector has a Plugin Sandbox Bypass leads to Arbitrary Code Execution

March 18, 2026 (updated March 20, 2026)

PySpector versions <= 0.1.6 are affected by a security validation bypass in the plugin system. The validate_plugin_code() function in plugin_system.py, performs static AST analysis to block dangerous API calls before a plugin is trusted and executed. However, the internal resolve_name() helper only handles ast.Name and ast.Attribute node types, returning None for all others. When a plugin uses indirect function calls via getattr() (such as getattr(os, 'system')) the outer call’s func node is of type ast.Call, causing resolve_name() to return None, and the security check to be silently skipped. The plugin incorrectly passes the trust workflow, and executes arbitrary system commands on the user’s machine when loaded.
