pytest 9.0 Python requires Python 3.10 pytest 9.0.3 CVE-2025-71176 affected versions
💡 Result:
Pytest 9.0 and later versions officially require Python 3.10 or newer [1][2][3]. Regarding CVE-2025-71176, this vulnerability affects pytest versions up to and including 9.0.2 [4][5][6]. The issue involves vulnerable handling of temporary directories (the /tmp/pytest-of-{user} pattern) on UNIX systems, which could allow local users to cause a denial of service or potentially gain privileges [4][7]. Pytest 9.0.3, released on April 7, 2026, is the patched version that addresses this vulnerability [8][9][10]. Users are advised to upgrade to 9.0.3 or a later version to mitigate this risk [4][7].

CVE-2025-71176 pytest affected versions fixed version
💡 Result:
CVE-2025-71176 is a vulnerability involving insecure temporary directory handling in pytest [1][2]. Affected Versions: All versions of pytest up to and including 9.0.2 are affected [1][2]. Fixed Version: The vulnerability was fixed in pytest version 9.0.3 [2]. Explanation: On UNIX systems, pytest used a predictable naming pattern (/tmp/pytest-of-{user}) for temporary directories [1][2]. This behavior allowed local users to potentially perform denial of service attacks or gain privileges by exploiting the predictable paths [1][2]. Users are advised to upgrade to version 9.0.3 or later to remediate this issue [2].
