HCE3-SA-2026-0038 Moderate HCE 3.0 Security Fix(es): virtualenv is a tool for creating isolated virtual python environments. Prior to version 20.36.1, TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use) vulnerabilities in virtualenv allow local attackers to perform symlink-based attacks on directory creation operations. An attacker with local access can exploit a race condition between directory existence checks and creation to redirect virtualenv_x27;s app_data and lock file operations to attacker-controlled locations. This issue has been patched in version 20.36.1. (CVE-2026-22702) HCE 3.0 python3-virtualenv-20.26.6-1.r5.hce3.noarch.rpm
