Echo: pip: security update to 25.2+echo.3python-pip: security update to 26.1.2+dfsg-1+e2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457561

Description

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

 - pip would incorrectly handle doubly-encoded package URLs from indexes allowing for files to be installed
 to arbitrary locations on disk even when installing wheels. This vulnerability requires downloading or
 installing a package from a malicious package index to succeed, malicious packages alone are not able to
 exploit this vulnerability. Note that this vulnerability only materially impacts users running `pip
 download` with the `--only-binary` option as installing source distributions from an untrusted index is
 already an unsafe operation that executes code during install time. (CVE-2026-13346)

Solution

Update the pip library and its related packages to version 25.2+echo.3 or later.
