### Impact The project backup didn't filter Git and Mercurial configuration files and this could lead to remote code execution under certain circumstances. ### Patches * https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/18549 ### Workarounds The project backup is only accessible to users who can create projects. Restricting access to this limits scope of the vulnerability. ### References This issue was reported by [ggamno](https://hackerone.com/ggamno) via HackerOne.
Update weblate to 5.17 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 high 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.
