Upgrade Centos:8 platform-python-pip to version 0:9.0.3-18.el8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream platform-python-pip package and not the platform-python-pip package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
