SCA: security update for pip (GHSA-58qw-9mgm-455v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442252

Description

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

 - pip handles concatenated tar and ZIP files as ZIP files regardless of filename or whether a file is both a
 tar and ZIP file. This behavior could result in confusing installation behavior, such as installing
 "incorrect" files according to the filename of the archive. New behavior only proceeds with installation
 if the file identifies uniquely as a ZIP or tar archive, not as both. (CVE-2026-3219)

Solution

Update the pip library and its related packages to version 26.1 or later.
