uv vulnerabilities

Astral uv before 0.11.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows attackers to delete arbitrary files by supplying wheels with relative traversal paths in RECORD entries. A malicious wheel can reference files outside the installation prefix.

uv before 0.11.15 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows malicious wheels to write files outside the scripts directory via crafted console_scripts or gui_scripts entry point names. Attackers who induce users to install a malicious wheel can place executables in PATH directories, shadowing or overwriting existing binaries for code execution.

uv (Python package and project manager) from version 0.12.7 to 0.12.18 has a vulnerability on Windows that allows writing a file outside the installation prefix during extraction of a malicious wheel. This can place an executable in a directory on the user's PATH.
