pip show CherryMusic

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2015-8310, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show CherryMusic

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of CherryMusic in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.36.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show CherryMusic command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
