Description

pip would incorrectly handle doubly-encoded package URLs from indexes allowing for files to be installed to arbitrary locations on disk even when installing wheels.

This vulnerability requires downloading or installing a package from a malicious package index to succeed, malicious packages alone are not able to exploit this vulnerability. Note that this vulnerability only materially impacts users running pip download with the --only-binary option as installing source distributions from an untrusted index is already an unsafe operation that executes code during install time.

Weakness class

CVE-2026-13346 is classified as CWE-36: Absolute Path Traversal. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.

Affected software

CVE-2026-13346 is recorded against 1 package.
