OESA-2024-1931 (CVE-2024-6345)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2024-08-02 11:07 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:07 – Source website

Summary

python-setuptools security update

Details

Setuptools is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils that allow you to more easily build and distribute Python packages, especially ones that have dependencies on other packages.

Security Fix(es):

A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.(CVE-2024-6345)

Severity

8.8 (High)
