CVE-2026-65820
aeon is a scikit-learn compatible Python library for learning from time series. Prior to version 1.5.0, a GitHub Actions workflow used pull_request_target for pre-commit checks on pull requests from forks. In this configuration, fork-controlled code could be checked out and executed in a privileged context. The vulnerable workflow also generated/used elevated credentials and could automatically commit or push fixes back to pull request branches. This created a potential token exposure and repository write path if an attacker submitted a malicious fork pull request designed to execute during the privileged workflow run. This issue has been patched in version 1.5.0.

Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
