    PYSEC-2013-8

    Published: 6 Aug 2013Last Modified: 8 Nov 2023

    Summary:

    Details: pip before 1.3 uses HTTP to retrieve packages from the PyPI repository, and does not perform integrity checks on package contents, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted response to a "pip install" operation.
