pip install Zope2>=2.7.8
Zope2 fixed: 2.8.7 
pip install Zope2>=2.8.7
Zope2 fixed: 2.9.3 
pip install Zope2>=2.9.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show Zope2

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2006-3458, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show Zope2
