How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 pypy3 to version 7.3.17+dfsg-3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pypy3 package and not the pypy3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability has been found in the CPython venv module and CLI where path names provided when creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into virtual environment "activation" scripts (ie "source venv/bin/activate"). This means that attacker-controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated. Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie "./venv/bin/python") are not affected.
