CPython: Vulnerability allows Umgehen from Sicherheitsvorkehrungen

CVSS 5.7 MEDIUM

Risk Summary

The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files (SourcelessFileLoader) is incorrectly handled in FileLoader (a base class) and so does not use io.open_code() to read the .pyc files. sys.audit handlers for this audit event therefore do not fire.
