How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 python-tk to version 2.7.17-7.52.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-tk package and not the python-tk package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
