3.3 lowEPSS 0.5%

Low (3.3) in pypa pip. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in pip 23.3.

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.
