[Security] Bump setuptools from 69.1.0 to 70.0.0

HIFIS Bot requested to merge dependabot-pip-setuptools-70.0.0 into main

Bumps setuptools from 69.1.0 to 70.0.0. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

setuptools vulnerable to Command Injection via package URL
A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.

Patched versions: 70.0.0
Affected versions: < 70.0.0

Changelog

Sourced from setuptools's changelog.

v70.0.0

Features

  • Emit a warning when [tools.setuptools] is present in pyproject.toml and will be ignored. -- by :user:SnoopJ (#4150)
  • Improved AttributeError error message if pkg_resources.EntryPoint.require is called without extras or distribution Gracefully "do nothing" when trying to activate a pkg_resources.Distribution with a None location, rather than raising a TypeError -- by :user:Avasam (#4262)
  • Typed the dynamically defined variables from pkg_resources -- by :user:Avasam (#4267)
  • Modernized and refactored VCS handling in package_index. (#4332)

Bugfixes

  • In install command, use super to call the superclass methods. Avoids race conditions when monkeypatching from _distutils_system_mod occurs late. (#4136)
  • Fix finder template for lenient editable installs of implicit nested namespaces constructed by using package_dir to reorganise directory structure. (#4278)
  • Fix an error with UnicodeDecodeError handling in pkg_resources when trying to read files in UTF-8 with a fallback -- by :user:Avasam (#4348)

Improved Documentation

  • Uses RST substitution to put badges in 1 line. (#4312)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Further adoption of UTF-8 in setuptools. This change regards mostly files produced and consumed during the build process (e.g. metadata files, script wrappers, automatically updated config files, etc..) Although precautions were taken to minimize disruptions, some edge cases might be subject to backwards incompatibility.

    Support for "locale" encoding is now deprecated. (#4309)

  • Remove setuptools.convert_path after long deprecation period. This function was never defined by setuptools itself, but rather a side-effect of an import for internal usage. (#4322)

  • Remove fallback for customisations of distutils' build.sub_command after long deprecated period. Users are advised to import build directly from setuptools.command.build. (#4322)

  • Removed typing_extensions from vendored dependencies -- by :user:Avasam (#4324)

  • Remove deprecated setuptools.dep_util. The provided alternative is setuptools.modified. (#4360)
