CVE-2014-1933 describes a symlink attack vulnerability in Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier, and Pillow before 2.3.1. The vulnerability arises because the JpegImagePlugin.py and EpsImagePlugin.py scripts expose temporary file names on the command line, allowing local users to potentially manipulate these files. With a CVSS score of 2.1 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N), this is a low-severity vulnerability with local access required, low attack complexity, no authentication, and a potential impact of partial integrity compromise. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
