"The version of python3 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-5752 advisory.

  - 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)
