Summary
CVE-2024-23346 is a critical security vulnerability affecting the Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) library before version 2024.2.20. The issue resides in the `JonesFaithfulTransformation.from_transformation_str()` method, which unsafely employs `eval()` for processing unverified user input.
