How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 python3-idle to version 3.6.15-150300.10.129.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-idle package and not the python3-idle package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

pip would treat console_scripts and gui_scripts as paths instead of file names without sanitizing the resolved absolute path to the installation directory, leading to entry points being installed outside the installation directory.
