Python Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability - CVE-2022-26488

In Python before 3.10.3 on Windows local users can gain privileges because the search path is inadequately secured. The installer may allow a local attacker to add user-writable directories to the system search path. To exploit an administrator must have installed Python for all users and enabled PATH entries. A non-administrative user can trigger a repair that incorrectly adds user-writable paths into PATH enabling search-path hijacking of other users and system services. This affects Python (CPython) through 3.7.12 3.8.x through 3.8.12 3.9.x through 3.9.10 and 3.10.x through 3.10.2.
