NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-pip-wheel package and not the python3-pip-wheel package as distributed by Centos.

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.
