When new vulnerabilties are published for Python, how is Visual Studio impacted? In our development environments, we have many applications that were installed as a part of Visual Studio installations. For example, i know we selected Python as an option/feature when we installed Visual Studio 2019. As a result, every developer workstation has these products listed in their software inventory:
Python (Anaconda3)
Core Interpreter (inc. Symbols)
Development Libraries
Documentation
Executables (inc. Symbols)
Launcher
pip Bootstrap
Standard Library (inc. Symbols)
Tcl/Tk Support (inc. Symbols)
Test Suite (inc. Symbols)
Utility Scripts
My question is "when vulnerabilities are published for Python, will our developer workstations be susceptible to those vulnerabilities?" Does all that Python-related software open those machines up to exploits? If so, how do we mitigate? Do we go straight to Python's website (whatever that is?) or do we expect Microsoft to patch these in a Visual Studio update?
Thanks
(PS: I'm not a developer so i dont know a lot of what i'm asking).
