There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 python-virtualenv.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-virtualenv package and not the python-virtualenv package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The mirroring support (-M, --use-mirrors) in Python Pip before 1.5 uses insecure DNS querying and authenticity checks which allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks.
