** DISPUTED ** Py throughout 1.11.0 allows remote attackers to conduct a ReDoS (Regular expression Denial of Service) attack via a Subversion repository with crafted info data because the InfoSvnCommand argument is mishandled.
https://github.com/pytest-dev/py/issues/287

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the jaraco/zipp library. The vulnerability is triggered when processing a specially crafted zip file that leads to an infinite loop. This issue also impacts the zipfile module of CPython, as features from the third-party zipp library are later merged into CPython, and the affected code is identical in both projects. The infinite loop can be initiated through the use of functions affecting the `Path` module in both zipp and zipfile, such as `joinpath`, the overloaded division operator, and `iterdir`. Although the infinite loop is not resource exhaustive, it prevents the application from responding.

Affected versions of the virtualenv package are vulnerable to command injection. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands by exploiting improperly quoted string placeholders in activation scripts. The vulnerable functions include various shell activation scripts where placeholders like __VIRTUAL_ENV__ are used. The exploitability depends on the ability to control the input to these placeholders. Users are advised to update to the version where a quoting mechanism has been implemented to mitigate this risk. This vulnerability is specific to environments where shell scripts are used for virtual environment activation. The issue is tracked under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection').

Virtualenv version 20.21.0 addresses a race condition in `virtualenv.cli_run` where a `FileNotFoundError` could occur for a JSON file in `pypa/virtualenv/py_info/1`. This error happens if the underlying interpreter is updated, causing the JSON file to be deleted and rewritten.
