NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : python-setuptools Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0086)

high Nessus Plugin ID 237985

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has python-setuptools packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0. (CVE-2024-6345)

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

Solution

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