mapped-diskcache: Temporary Security Fork
==========================================

.. note::

**This is a temporary fork of** `grantjenks/python-diskcache`_ **maintained by**
`Mapped <https://mapped.com>`_ **solely to ship a CVE fix.**

The upstream repo is unmaintained and has not merged `PR #364`_ which fixes
`CVE-2025-69872`_ (unsafe pickle deserialization). This fork exists only until
that PR is merged upstream, at which point this package will be retired and
users should switch back to the original ``diskcache``.

**Do not use this package for anything other than the CVE fix.**
