Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-442
Advisory Release Date: 2023-12-06 07:45 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-12-14 21:43 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
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. (CVE-2023-5752)
