NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : python-pip Vulnerability (NS-SA-2021-0081)

high Nessus Plugin ID 147285

Language:

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has python-pip packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
 (CVE-2019-20916)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL python-pip packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
