    package_index.py
    * CVE-2024-6345: fix remote code execution in package_index module
    CVE(s):
    CVE-2022-40897
    Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of
    Service (ReDoS) in package_index.py.
    CVE-2024-6345
    A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote
    code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs
    provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these
    functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands
    on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
