How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jwt-tool package and not the jwt-tool package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
