CVE-2026-77401
Zope AccessControl: Information disclosure through Python string `format` and `format_map` functions
Zope AccessControl provides a general security framework for use in Zope. Prior to 7.4, applications that allow untrusted users to create and execute AccessControl-controlled Python code do not safely guard str.format and str.format_map when those methods are reached through a str subclass. In both ImplPython.py and cAccessControl.c, Python formatting can recursively access attributes and subscriptions using unrestricted getattr and getitem behavior instead of the policy-restricted getattr and getitem operations. A controlled format string can therefore disclose objects reachable from values available to the formatting operation. This issue is fixed in version 7.4.
