** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in NumPy 1.16.2 and earlier. It uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object, as demonstrated by a numpy.load call. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it is a behavior that might have legitimate applications in (for example) loading serialized Python object arrays from trusted and authenticated sources.
Update numpy to 1.16.3 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in pip. A critical vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
| Package | Affected range | Fixed version |
|---|---|---|
| numpypip | <1.16.3 | 1.16.3 |
Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
