## Overview

### Impact
Any optional non-boolean CLI arguments (e.g. `--delim`, `--buf-size`, `--manpath`) are passed through python's `eval`, allowing arbitrary code execution. Example:

```sh
python -m tqdm --manpath="\" + str(exec(\"import os\nos.system('echo hi && killall python3')\")) + \""
```

### Patches
https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/commit/4e613f84ed2ae029559f539464df83fa91feb316 released in `tqdm>=4.66.3`

### Workarounds
