How to fix?

Upgrade Pillow to version 9.0.1 or higher.

Overview

Pillow is a PIL (Python Imaging Library) fork.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. When the path to the temporary directory on Linux or macOS contained a space, this would break removal of the temporary image file after im.show() (and related actions), and potentially remove an unrelated file.
