Bugfixes - 21.2.4

• Security hardening: validate each entry of a seed wheel archive before extracting it so a tampered wheel cannot escape the app-data image directory via an absolute path or .. traversal. (:issue:3118)
• Security hardening: verify the SHA-256 of every bundled seed wheel when it is loaded so a corrupted or tampered file on disk fails loud instead of being handed to pip. The hash table is generated alongside BUNDLE_SUPPORT by tasks/upgrade_wheels.py. (:issue:3119)
• Security hardening: validate the distribution name and version specifier passed to pip download when acquiring a seed wheel so extras, pip flags, or shell metacharacters cannot be smuggled into the subprocess command line. (:issue:3120)
• Security hardening: replace the string-prefix containment check in virtualenv.util.zipapp with Path.relative_to so the zipapp extraction helpers refuse any path that does not resolve under the archive root. (:issue:3121)
• Security hardening: do not silently fall back to an unverified HTTPS context when the periodic update request to PyPI fails TLS verification. The returned metadata drives which wheel version virtualenv considers "up to date", so accepting an unverified response lets a network-level attacker suppress security updates. Set VIRTUALENV_PERIODIC_UPDATE_INSECURE=1 to restore the previous behavior on hosts with broken trust stores. (:issue:3122)

PR Code Review

This is a minimal dependency bump PR — virtualenv from 21.2.3 to 21.2.4 in pyproject.toml.

---

Code Quality

• ✅ Style guide: Single-line change in pyproject.toml, no style concerns.
• ✅ No commented-out code
• ✅ Meaningful variable names: N/A
• ✅ DRY principle: N/A
• ✅ Defects: No logic changes; dependency bump only. No bugs, race conditions, or security issues introduced.
• ✅ CLAUDE.md: No issues — project config is appropriately general.

Testing

• ✅ Unit/integration tests: Not required for a dependency version bump.
• ✅ Test coverage: Unchanged.

Documentation

• ✅ README: No update needed.
• ✅ API docs: No update needed.
• ✅ Inline comments: N/A
• ❌ CHANGELOG.md: No CHANGELOG.md update is present. Dependency bumps are typically worth noting in a changelog entry (e.g., Bump virtualenv from 21.2.3 to 21.2.4). This may be intentional if dependency bumps are excluded from the project's changelog policy, but worth confirming.

Security

• ✅ No hardcoded credentials
• ✅ No license files (.lic) or AQAAAD-prefixed content
• ✅ No sensitive data

---

Summary: This is a straightforward automated dependency bump with no functional changes. The only minor note is the missing CHANGELOG.md entry — confirm whether that's expected per project policy.
