About

The Python install manager helps you to install, manage, and launch Python on Windows.

After install, the "py" command is your tool of choice - try "py help" to see what it can do! (Not working? You may need to uninstall the old "Python launcher", and check "Manage app execution aliases" to ensure the command is enabled.)

    Stack-based buffer overflow in the file_compress function in minigzip (Modules/zlib) in Python 2.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file argument.

Source: NVD, updated 6h ago. Patch status is best-effort: NVD's fix version is compared against the latest version in winget, but the two version formats don't always align. Confirm with the vendor advisory before treating any specific build as safe.
