  "details": "### Impact\n\nIn versions of uv prior to 0.11.15, when installing a distribution containing an entry point specification (under `console_scripts` or `gui_scripts`), uv would place the generated entry point according to the given name even if doing so resulted in a path outside of the environment\u0027s scripts directory.\n\nA malicious wheel could use this to place an executable outside of the intended environment, including in a directory already present on the user\u0027s `PATH`. This could shadow or overwrite an existing executable and potentially result in unexpected code execution under the wheel\u0027s control, even if the wheel\u0027s installation environment was not explicitly added to `PATH` by the user.\n\nIn order to exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must induce their target into installing a malicious wheel.\n\n### Patches\n\nuv 0.11.15 and newer address this vulnerability. Users are encouraged to upgrade to 0.11.15.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere is no workaround other than upgrading to uv 0.11.15.",
