Echo: pip: security update to 26.1python-pip: security update to 26.0.1+dfsg-1+e2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 457619

Description

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

 - pip prior to version 26.1 would run self-update check functionality after installing wheel files which
 required importing well-known Python modules names. These module imports were intentionally deferred to
 increase startup time of the pip CLI. The patch changes self-update functionality to run before wheels are
 installed to prevent newly-installed modules from being imported shortly after the installation of a wheel
 package. Users should still review package contents prior to installation. (CVE-2026-6357)

Solution

Update the python-pip library and its related packages to version 26.0.1+dfsg-1+e2 or later.
