CVE-2026-113722: virtualenv: Generated POSIX console launchers interpret destination paths as shell syntax
A destination path supplied to virtualenv can be interpreted as shell syntax by a generated POSIX console launcher. The app-data seeder and pip delegate launcher generation to distlib but supply the interpreter path in a form that does not preserve it as literal data in the shell wrapper.
