+Subject: [PATCH] Fixed security issue around wheel unpack (#675)
+
+A maliciously crafted wheel could cause the permissions of a file outside the unpack tree to be altered.
+
+Fixes CVE-2026-24049.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-24049
+
+In test case, the API "run_command" is not defined and use "unpack" directly.
