Threats tagged 'brew-python@3.11-cve-2026-6357'

CVE-2026-6357 is a medium severity vulnerability in pip versions prior to 26.1. The issue involves pip running its self-update check after installing wheel files, which requires importing well-known Python modules. This import was deferred to improve startup time but could lead to unintended module imports shortly after installation. The patch changes the self-update check to run before wheel installation to prevent this behavior. Users are advised to review package contents before installation. No known exploits are reported, and no official patch or remediation level is explicitly stated in the advisory.
