CVE-2013-1629 describes a critical vulnerability in pip versions prior to 1.3, where the package manager uses unencrypted HTTP for PyPI package retrieval and lacks integrity checks. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to inject malicious code during "pip install" operations, leading to arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS score of 6.8 (medium severity), the vulnerability is network-exploitable with medium complexity, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 95/100 indicates a significant potential risk.
