CVE-2013-1629

pip < 1.3 - Remote Code Execution via Man-in-the-Middle Package Tampering

Title source: llm

Description

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.
