{"id":"CVE-2023-5752","details":"When installing a package from a Mercurial VCS URL  (ie \"pip install \nhg+...\") with pip prior to v23.3, the specified Mercurial revision could\n be used to inject arbitrary configuration options to the \"hg clone\" \ncall (ie \"--config\"). Controlling the Mercurial configuration can modify\n how and which repository is installed. This vulnerability does not \naffect users who aren't installing from Mercurial.","aliases":["GHSA-mq26-g339-26xf","PYSEC-2023-228"],"modified":"2026-04-02T09:47:56.689624Z","published":"2023-10-25T18:17:44.867Z","related":["CGA-r5v2-rqm7-cv46","MGASA-2025-0055","SUSE-SU-2023:4987-1","SUSE-SU-2023:4988-1","SUSE-SU-2024:0892-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3156-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13454-1"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/622OZXWG72ISQPLM5Y57YCVIMWHD4C3U/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/65UKKF5LBHEFDCUSPBHUN4IHYX7SRMHH/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/FXUVMJM25PUAZRQZBF54OFVKTY3MINPW/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/KFC2SPFG5FLCZBYY2K3T5MFW2D22NG6E/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/YBSB3SUPQ3VIFYUMHPO3MEQI4BJAXKCZ/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00028.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://mail.python.org/archives/list/security-announce@python.org/thread/F4PL35U6X4VVHZ5ILJU3PWUWN7H7LZXL/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/12306"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/pypa/pip","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"e3dc91dad93a020b3034a87ebe59027f63370fe8"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"23.3"}]}}],"versions":["0.3","0.4","0.5","0.6","0.6.1","0.7","0.7.1","0.7.2","0.8","0.8.1","0.8.2","0.8.3","1.0","1.0.1","1.0.2","1.1","1.2","1.2.1","1.3","1.3.1","1.3rc1","1.3rc2","1.4","1.4.1","1.4rc1","1.4rc2","1.4rc3","1.4rc4","1.4rc5","1.5","1.5.1","1.5.1rc1","1.5.2","1.5.3","1.5.4","1.5.5","1.5.6","1.5rc1","1.5rc2","1.5rc3","1.5rc4","10.0.0","10.0.0b1","10.0.0b2","10.0.1","18.0","18.1","19.0","19.0.1","19.0.2","19.0.3","19.1","19.1.1","19.2","19.2.1","19.2.2","19.2.3","19.3","19.3.1","20.0","20.0.1","20.0.2","20.1","20.1.1","20.1b1","20.2","20.2.1","20.2.2","20.2.3","20.2.4","20.2b1","20.3","20.3.1","20.3.2","20.3.3","20.3.4","20.3b1","21.0","21.0.1","21.1","21.1.1","21.1.2","21.1.3","21.2","21.2.1","21.2.2","21.2.3","21.2.4","21.3","21.3.1","22.0","22.0.1","22.0.2","22.0.3","22.0.4","22.1","22.1.1","22.1.2","22.1b1","22.2","22.2.1","22.2.2","22.3","22.3.1","23.0","23.0.1","23.1","23.1.1","23.1.2","23.2","23.2.1","6.0","6.0.1","6.0.2","6.0.3","6.0.4","6.0.5","6.0.6","6.0.7","6.0.8","6.1.0","6.1.1","7.0.0","7.0.1","7.0.2","7.0.3","7.1.0","7.1.1","7.1.2","8.0.0","8.0.1","8.0.2","8.0.3","8.1.0","8.1.1","8.1.2","9.0.0","9.0.1","9.0.2","9.0.3"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-5752.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"}]}
