OESA-2026-3379 (CVE-2025-47273)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2026-08-13 14:02 – Updated: 2026-08-13 14:02 – Source websiteSetuptools 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):
setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages. A path traversal vulnerability in PackageIndex is present in setuptools prior to version 78.1.1. An attacker would be allowed to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the permissions of the process running the Python code, which could escalate to remote code execution depending on the context. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue.(CVE-2025-47273)
