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.
