docs(changelog): state the 1.2.0 regression and CWE-22 affected range - #372
Merged
Conversation
The 1.1.4 section now describes the code shipped as everos==1.1.4 on PyPI, which lists the path traversal as fixed. Read top-down, that left a 1.2.0 user concluding the fix predates their version and they are safe — the opposite of the truth, since 1.2.0 was built from a branch that never received those fixes. Three changes, no history rewritten: - The 1.2.1 Fixed entry now names what 1.2.0 regressed, instead of describing the merge as internal branch hygiene. - A Security section under 1.2.1 carries the affected-version range, which is discontinuous: everything before 1.1.4, plus 1.2.0. 1.1.4 itself is not affected. - A note under 1.2.0 points forward, so a reader who looks up their own version rather than the newest one still finds it. Matches the published v1.2.1 release notes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The rewritten 1.1.4 section now documents the code shipped as
everos==1.1.4on PyPI, which correctly lists the knowledge-upload path traversal (CWE-22) as
fixed. Read top-down, however, that leaves a 1.2.0 reader concluding the fix
predates their version and they are therefore safe — the opposite of the truth.
1.2.0was built from a branch that never received those fixes, so it regressedto pre-1.1.4 behaviour, and the changelog says so nowhere.
Three changes, no history rewritten:
Fixedentry now names what1.2.0regressed, instead ofdescribing the merge as internal branch hygiene ("backfilled into
main…so subsequent releases build on top of them"), which tells a user nothing
about their own exposure.
Securitysection under 1.2.1 carries the affected-version range. Therange is discontinuous — everything before
1.1.4, plus1.2.0;1.1.4itself is not affected — so it cannot be inferred from "fixed in 1.2.1".
the version they are running rather than the newest one.
This brings
CHANGELOG.mdin line with the publishedv1.2.1 release notes,
which already carry the same Security block.

Worth deciding explicitly: should this also be a GitHub Security Advisory?
Right now the only public statement of the
1.2.0exposure is this changelogentry plus the v1.2.1 release notes. Without a GHSA, Dependabot will not notify
anyone still running
1.2.0. The repository has one prior advisory,GHSA-c795-2g9c-j48m, for the siblingsender_idtraversal — same class, samecontainment approach — so there is precedent for filing one here.
If a GHSA is filed, the affected range needs both segments (
< 1.1.4and= 1.2.0); collapsing it to< 1.2.1would incorrectly flag1.2.0as theonly safe pre-fix release... and would wrongly mark
1.1.4users as vulnerable.By submitting this pull request, I agree that my contribution is licensed under
