How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 python3-pip-wheel to version 0:9.0.3-18.el8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-pip-wheel package and not the python3-pip-wheel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
