Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-8643 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
pip would treat console_scripts and gui_scripts as paths instead of file names without sanitizing the resolved absolute path to the installation directory, leading to entry points being installed outside the installation directory.
