CVE-2026-113725

The virtualenv tool, used for creating isolated Python environments, is vulnerable to command injection in versions prior to 21.14.7 . The root cause lies in the bash activate script , which fails to properly escape the environment name during one of the two passes bash makes over PS1 . Specifica...

Command Injection

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via insufficient escaping of the virtual environment name in the bash activate script src/virtualenv/activation/bash/activate.sh. Bash processes PS1 in two passes on every prompt redraw: it first decodes backslash prom...

Symlink Attack

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Symlink Attack via the onerror handler in src/virtualenv/util/path/sync.py, which previously called os.chmod on a path without first checking whether it is a symbolic link. On Windows, when a read-only file cannot be deleted during a tr...

CVE-2026-113723

The virtualenv tool, used for creating isolated Python environments, is vulnerable to OS Command Injection (CWE-78) in versions prior to 21.14.9 .
