Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A dependency confusion vulnerability was reported in the Antilles open-source software prior to version
1.0.1 that could allow for remote code execution during installation due to a package listed in
requirements.txt not existing in the public package index (PyPi). MITRE classifies this weakness as an
Uncontrolled Search Path Element (CWE-427) in which a private package dependency may be replaced by an
unauthorized package of the same name published to a well-known public repository such as PyPi. The
configuration has been updated to only install components built by Antilles, removing all other public
package indexes. Additionally, the antilles-tools dependency has been published to PyPi. (CVE-2021-3840)
