How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 python-36.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-36 package and not the python-36 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

pip would treat console_scripts and gui_scripts as paths instead of file names without sanitizing the resolved absolute path to the installation directory, leading to entry points being installed outside the installation directory.
