From: Hetvi Thakar <redacted> Analysis: - NVD marks CVE-2018-20225 as disputed. [1] - pip searches all configured package indexes without priority and selects the highest matching version. --extra-index-url adds an equal-priority package source. [2] - Exploitation requires use of --extra-index-url and an attacker-published, higher-version package with the name of a private package. [1] - Upstream closed the related report as not planned, and Red Hat classified the issue as WONTFIX because this behavior is intentional. [3][4] - Record the disputed status; no source patch is available.
