The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the library leaks .netrc credentials to third parties for specific maliciously-crafted URLs. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-47273)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in package_index.py. A remote attacker can trick the victim into installing a specially crafted script and overwrite arbitrary files on the system, leading to code execution.
3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-43859)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests in h11/_readers.py. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6827)
