EulerOS Virtualization 2.15.1 : python-wheel (EulerOS-SA-2026-4576)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 377147

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 wheel is a command line tool for manipulating Python wheel files, as defined in PEP 427. In versions 0.40.0 through 0.46.1, the unpack function is vulnerable to file permission modification through mishandling of file permissions after extraction. The logic blindly trusts the filename from the archive header for the chmod operation, even though the extraction process itself might have sanitized the path.
 Attackers can craft a malicious wheel file that, when unpacked, changes the permissions of critical system files (e.g., /etc/passwd, SSH keys, config files), allowing for Privilege Escalation or arbitrary code execution by modifying now-writable scripts. This issue has been fixed in version 0.46.2.(CVE-2026-24049)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization python-wheel 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-wheel packages.
