Packages

EcosystemPackageAffectedFixed in
PyPI pip < 1.3 1.3

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

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.
