EulerOS 2.0 SP15 : python-setuptools (EulerOS-SA-2026-3944)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 364055

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python-setuptools packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python-setuptools security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected python-setuptools packages.
