    Package        : setuptools
    Version        : 52.0.0-4+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-47273
    Debian Bug     : 1105970

    A path traversal vulnerability in `PackageIndex` was found in setuptools. 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.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    52.0.0-4+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your setuptools packages.

    For the detailed security status of setuptools please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/setuptools

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
