    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-47273:
    setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python
    packages. A path traversal vulnerability in PackageIndex is present in setuptools prior to version 78.1.1.
    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. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
