NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream fence-agents-vmware-rest package and not the fence-agents-vmware-rest package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.
