When extracting a tar archive pip may not check symbolic links point into the extraction directory if the tarfile module doesn't implement PEP 706. Note that upgrading pip to a "fixed" version for this vulnerability doesn't fix all known vulnerabilities that are remediated by using a Python version that implements PEP 706. Note that this is a vulnerability in pip's fallback implementation of tar extraction for Python versions that don't implement PEP 706 and therefore are not secure to all vulnerabilities in the Python 'tarfile' module. If you're using a Python version that implements PEP 706 then pip doesn't use the "vulnerable" fallback code. Mitigations include upgrading to a version of pip that includes the fix, upgrading to a Python version that implements PEP 706 (Python >=3.9.17, >=3.10.12, >=3.11.4, or >=3.12), applying the linked patch, or inspecting source distributions (sdists) before installation as is already a best-practice.

According to the versions of the python-pip packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Prior to 2.5.0, it is possible to disable     redirects for all requests by instantiating a PoolManager and specifying retries in a way that disable     redirects. By default, requests and botocore users are not affected. An application attempting to mitigate     SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities by disabling redirects at the PoolManager level will remain     vulnerable. This issue has been patched in version 2.5.0.(CVE-2025-50181)

    Requests is a HTTP library. Since Requests 2.3.0, Requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to     destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. This is a product of how we use     `rebuild_proxies` to reattach the `Proxy-Authorization` header to requests. For HTTP connections sent     through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to     forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the `Proxy-Authorization` header must     be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in     Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious     actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version     2.31.0.(CVE-2023-32681)

    Note that upgrading pip to a 'fixed' version for this vulnerability doesn't fix all known vulnerabilities     that are remediated by using a Python version that implements PEP 706.

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in python-pip, the Python     package installer.

    CVE-2023-5752

       When installing a package from a Mercurial VCS URL, arbitrary        configuration options could be injected to the hg clone call.

    CVE-2025-8869

       Pip's tar extraction doesn't check that symbolic links point to the        extraction directory.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     20.3.4-4+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-pip packages.
