Forbid access to all dunder attributes by default.
This PR enhances security by forbidding access to all dunder attributes by default. By blocking access to attributes that start and end with double underscores (e.g.
__class__
), we help to avoid potential exploitation via reflective or introspective code.a.__class__
).getattr(a, "__class__")
) was already forbidden unless explicitly authorizing thegetattr
function.A comprehensive suite of tests has been added to ensure that any attempt to access these sensitive attributes triggers an appropriate error.
This measure reduces the attack surface while preserving the legitimate functionality of our Python code evaluation.
