BDSA-2025-12492 CVE-2025-8869 #923

Description

@ivanovac

Affected Components pypi:pip/24.0

The vulnerable pip version 24.0 IS present in Python Version 3.11.15

Option 1: Wait for Python 3.11.16 (Recommended)

  • Python 3.11.16 will likely bundle a patched pip version
  • Python 3.11.x is in maintenance mode, so updates come periodically
  • Track https://www.python.org/downloads/ for 3.11.16 release

Option 2: Document Workaround
Since most users won't directly use pip from the nodejs-buildpack's Python:

  • Document that users should upgrade pip after installation: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  • This is already a best practice

Option 3: Consider Deprecation

  • Python 3.11.x reaches EOL on 2027-10-24 (per manifest.yml)
  • Consider if Python 3.11.x is still needed in the nodejs-buildpack
