    <background>
        <p>Joblib is a set of tools to provide lightweight pipelining in Python. In particular:

1. transparent disk-caching of functions and lazy re-evaluation (memoize pattern)
2. easy simple parallel computing

Joblib is optimized to be fast and robust on large data in particular and has specific optimizations for numpy arrays.</p>

    <description>
        <p>A vulnerability has been discovered in Joblib. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="high">
        <p>Joblib is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution via the pre_dispatch flag in Parallel() class due to the eval() statement.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
