The product does not properly distinguish between different types of elements in a way that leads to insecure behavior. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

skops is a Python library which helps users share and ship their scikit-learn based models. Versions 0.11.0 and below contain a inconsistency in the OperatorFuncNode which can be exploited to hide the execution of untrusted operator methods. This can then be used in a code reuse attack to invoke seemingly safe functions and escalate to arbitrary code execution with minimal and misleading trusted types. This is fixed in version 0.12.0.
