CVE-2019-20916 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:10 python-pip.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pip package and not the python-pip package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 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.
