Descriptions

An issue was discovered in pip (all versions) because it installs the version with the highest version number, even if the user had intended to obtain a private package from a private index. This only affects use of the --extra-index-url option, and exploitation requires that the package does not already exist in the public index (and thus the attacker can put the package there with an arbitrary version number). NOTE: it has been reported that this is intended functionality and the user is responsible for using --extra-index-url securely

** EN DISPUTA ** Se detectó un problema en pip (todas las versiones) porque instala la versión con el número de versión más alto, incluso si el usuario tenía la intención de obtener un paquete privado desde un índice privado. Esto solo afecta el uso de la opción --extra-index-url, y una explotación requiere que el paquete aún no exista en el índice público (y, por lo tanto, el atacante puede colocar el paquete allí con un número de versión arbitrario). NOTA: se ha informado que esta es la funcionalidad prevista y el usuario es responsable de usar --extra-index-url de forma segura.
