How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard nemo to version 2.7.3-r2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nemo package and not the nemo package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

pip prior to version 26.1 would run self-update check functionality after installing wheel files which required importing well-known Python modules names. These module imports were intentionally deferred to increase startup time of the pip CLI. The patch changes self-update functionality to run before wheels are installed to prevent newly-installed modules from being imported shortly after the installation of a wheel package. Users should still review package contents prior to installation.
