+Subject: [PATCH] Reject entry point names that escape scripts dir (#14000)
+
+* Reject entry point names that escape scripts dir
+
+* NEWS ENTRY
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-8643
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/pypa/pip/commit/8eb178480bd1a2b223f509fc430796b265158dfb]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted tests/unit/test_wheel.py because the pip 26.0.1 PyPI sdist
+  does not ship the upstream test suite and the OE recipe does not
+  enable ptest.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 8eb178480bd1a2b223f509fc430796b265158dfb)
+Signed-off-by: Hetvi Thakar <hthakar@cisco.com>
