PYSEC-2023-228

Quick fix

PYSEC-2023-228 — pip: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pip>=23.3'

Details

When installing a package from a Mercurial VCS URL (ie "pip install hg+...") with pip prior to v23.3, the specified Mercurial revision could be used to inject arbitrary configuration options to the "hg clone" call (ie "--config"). Controlling the Mercurial configuration can modify how and which repository is installed. This vulnerability does not affect users who aren't installing from Mercurial.

Are you affected?

Enter the version of the package you're using.
