RHEL Packaging Agent ed8b07e0b5 Fix CVE-2026-57456: code execution via crafted docstrings in python complete
Backport upstream commit cce141c42740 (patch 9.2.0699) to fix a
security vulnerability where crafted docstrings could lead to
arbitrary code execution during Python omni-completion.

The fix replaces triple-quoted string insertion with repr() in
Scope.get_code(), Function.get_code(), and Class.get_code() in
both python3complete.vim and pythoncomplete.vim. A new test file
is included to verify the fix.

CVE: CVE-2026-57456
Upstream patches:
 - cce141c427.patch
Resolves: RHEL-192114
