| CVE | Sev | CVSS | KEV | Affected versions | Fixed in | Published | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-6357 | Med | — | < 26.1 | 26.1 | Apr 27, 2026 | pip prior to version 26.1 would run self-update check functionality after installing wheel files which required importing well-known Python modules names. These module imports were intentionally deferred to increase startup time of the pip CLI. The patch changes self-update funct | |
| CVE-2026-1703 | Low | — | < 26.0 | 26.0 | Feb 2, 2026 | When pip is installing and extracting a maliciously crafted wheel archive, files may be extracted outside the installation directory. The path traversal is limited to prefixes of the installation directory, thus isn't able to inject or overwrite executable files in typical situat | |
| CVE-2025-8869 | Med | — | < 25.3 | 25.3 | Sep 24, 2025 | When extracting a tar archive pip may not check symbolic links point into the extraction directory if the tarfile module doesn't implement PEP 706. Note that upgrading pip to a "fixed" version for this vulnerability doesn't fix all known vulnerabilities that are remediated by usi | |
| CVE-2023-5752 | — | < 23.3 | 23.3 | Oct 24, 2023 | 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 m | ||
| CVE-2021-3572 | — | < 21.1 | 21.1 | Nov 10, 2021 | A flaw was found in python-pip in the way it handled Unicode separators in git references. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to install a different revision on a repository. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity. This is fixed in python-pip | ||
| CVE-2019-20916 | — | < 19.2 | 19.2 | Sep 4, 2020 | The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _ | ||
| CVE-2013-5123 | — | < 1.5 | 1.5 | Nov 5, 2019 | The mirroring support (-M, --use-mirrors) in Python Pip before 1.5 uses insecure DNS querying and authenticity checks which allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks. | ||
| CVE-2014-8991 | — | >= 1.3, < 6.0 | 6.0 | Nov 24, 2014 | pip 1.3 through 1.5.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevention of package installation) by creating a /tmp/pip-build-* file for another user. | ||
| CVE-2013-1888 | — | < 1.3 | 1.3 | Aug 17, 2013 | pip before 1.3 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a file in the /tmp/pip-build temporary directory. | ||
| CVE-2013-1629 | — | < 1.3 | 1.3 | Aug 6, 2013 | 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. |
