Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8505-1
July 06, 2026

python-parsl vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

Parsl could be made to expose sensitive information over the network.

Software Description:
- python-parsl: Create parallel programs composed of Python functions and external components

Details:

It was discovered that Parsl incorrectly constructed SQL queries using
unsafe string formatting with user-supplied input in the parsl-visualize
component. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform SQL
injection attacks, leading to data exfiltration or a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  python-parsl-doc                2024.02.26+ds-1ubuntu0.1~esm1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  python3-parsl                   2024.02.26+ds-1ubuntu0.1~esm1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
