How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 python311-base to version 3.11.15-150600.3.53.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python311-base package and not the python311-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files (SourcelessFileLoader) is incorrectly handled in FileLoader (a base class) and so does not use io.open_code() to read the .pyc files. sys.audit handlers for this audit event therefore do not fire.
