Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-1703 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pip (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 26.0\n- pip (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 26.0\n- pip (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 26.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1703/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1703/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-1703","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1703/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-1703","record":{"aliases":["AZL-76496","AZL-76499","AZL-76593","AZL-76599","AZL-77910","BELL-CVE-2026-1703","CLEANSTART-2026-GK32867","CLEANSTART-2026-JD93552","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-1703","ECHO-7db2-03aa-5591","GHSA-6vgw-5pg2-w6jp","MINI-7hhq-w9p3-cxv4","MINI-7mh7-c68w-24x8","MINI-8ff5-28hr-q3wc","MINI-c44g-5vx9-42rg","MINI-h53f-75xg-m98h","MINI-pc6q-j833-4c2j","MINI-pcx8-f4wp-6938","MINI-phq9-h939-7q2g","MINI-vjfp-68cm-44c2","OESA-2026-1446","PYSEC-2026-1796","RHSA-2026:7610","SUSE-SU-2026:0420-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0805-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20423-1","SUSE-SU-2026:4104-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-1703","openSUSE-SU-2026:10210-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20202-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python package installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can extract files outside the installation directory via malicious wheel archives, potentially modifying data in prefix directories.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"PSF","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":2,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"When pip is installing and extracting a maliciously crafted wheel archive, files may be extracted outside the installation directory.
