Subject: [Security-announce][CVE-2026-13346] pip absolute path
traversal during download from malicious package indexes

There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting pip.
pip would incorrectly handle doubly-encoded package URLs from indexes
allowing for files to be installed to arbitrary locations on disk even
when installing wheels.
This vulnerability requires downloading or installing a package from a
malicious package index to succeed, malicious packages alone are not
able to exploit this vulnerability. Note that this vulnerability only
materially impacts users running `pip download` with the `--only-binary`
option as installing source distributions from an untrusted index is
already an unsafe operation that executes code during install time.
