How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 python311-pip to version 22.3.1-150400.17.12.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python311-pip package and not the python311-pip package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 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.
