CVE-2026-1703 is a path-traversal vulnerability in pip's handling of maliciously crafted wheel archives during installation or extraction. Archive entries can cause files to be written outside the intended installation directory. The traversal is limited to prefixes of the installation directory, which generally prevents injection or replacement of executable files in typical installation layouts.
