Why It Matters
**Why it matters:** The addition of “cage‑flux” to PyPI introduces a potentially covert privilege‑elevation vector that could be piggybacked on legitimate package installations, expanding attackers’ lateral‑move surface across Python ecosystems and forcing stricter repository vetting and trust‑worthiness models. Technically, it exploits kernel‑level “cage” APIs, allowing unsigned code to gain elevated privileges without distro‑level signing—challenging existing security assumptions and edging towards a new class of lightweight kernel exploits.
