CVE-2026-8643  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 python to version 2.7.18-150000.123.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python package and not the python package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 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.
