      "value": "Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is an open-source Python library for materials analysis. A critical security vulnerability exists in the `JonesFaithfulTransformation.from_transformation_str()` method within the `pymatgen` library prior to version 2024.2.20. This method insecurely utilizes `eval()` for processing input, enabling execution of arbitrary code when parsing untrusted input. Version 2024.2.20 fixes this issue."

Este m\u00e9todo utiliza de forma insegura `eval()` para procesar la entrada, lo que permite la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario al analizar entradas que no son de confianza. La versi\u00f3n 2024.2.20 soluciona este problema."
