## Overview

The parser cache functionality in parsergenerator.py in RPLY (aka python-rply) before 0.7.1 allows local users to spoof cache data by pre-creating a temporary rply-*.json file with a predictable name.

## Affected packages

- `rply < 0.7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `rply 0.7.1`
