NewStart CGSL MAIN 7.02 : python-pip Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0142)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 242819

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has python-pip packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - 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. (CVE-2023-5752)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL python-pip packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
