Comment 1 Lumír Balhar 2025-07-22 15:51:35 UTC 
I've verified that there is no way to exploit the vulnerability in the bundled requests library via any calls to pip. The vulnerable function (fixed in https://github.com/psf/requests/commit/96ba401c1296ab1dda74a2365ef36d88f7d144ef) is there, but it is never used because pip has the logic for loading usernames and passwords from netrc files implemented in MultiDomainBasicAuth class (in _internal/network/auth.py or download.py in older releases of pip).
