Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
M Directory Traversal Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal through the `‎PackageIndex._download_url` method. Due to insufficient sanitization of special characters, an attacker can write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the permissions of the process running the Python code. In certain scenarios, an attacker could potentially escalate to remote code execution by leveraging malicious URLs present in a package index. How to fix Directory Traversal? Upgrade `setuptools` to version 78.1.1 or higher.	[,78.1.1)
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)
