Vulnerability Vulnerable Version

Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
H Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') through the `package_index` module's download functions due to the unsafe usage of `os.system`. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the system by providing malicious URLs or manipulating the URLs retrieved from package index servers. Note Because `easy_install` and `package_index` are deprecated, the exploitation surface is reduced, but it's conceivable through social engineering or minor compromise to a package index could grant remote access. How to fix Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')? Upgrade `setuptools` to version 70.0.0 or higher.	[,70.0.0)
M Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via crafted HTML package or custom `PackageIndex` page. Note: Only a small portion of the user base is impacted by this flaw. Setuptools maintainers pointed out that `package_index` is deprecated (not formally, but “in spirit”) and the vulnerability isn't reachable through standard, recommended workflows. How to fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)? Upgrade `setuptools` to version 65.5.1 or higher.	[,65.5.1)
