NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : python-setuptools Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0253)

high Nessus Plugin ID 271289

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:

 - setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages. A path traversal vulnerability in `PackageIndex` is present in setuptools prior to version 78.1.1. An attacker would be allowed to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the permissions of the process running the Python code, which could escalate to remote code execution depending on the context. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-47273)

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.
