CVE-2026-9147 is a code injection vulnerability in scikit-hep uproot affecting versions up to and including 5.7.4. Uproot dynamically generates Python class source code from ROOT TStreamerInfo records contained in a file and compiles that code at runtime. Certain file-controlled streamer metadata fields, including streamer element names, are interpolated into the generated Python source without safe quoting such as repr() or the !r format specifier. A crafted ROOT file can therefore embed expression-breaking content into streamer metadata so that, when uproot generates and invokes the corresponding reader method, attacker-controlled Python expressions are evaluated in the context of the process opening or processing the file. This results in arbitrary Python code execution through maliciously crafted ROOT metadata.
