CVE-2023-5752 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (python-pip), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 4, open 1.
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.
