Summary

There is a vulnerability in Python used by IBM Maximo Manage application in IBM Maximo Application Suite

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2018-20225
**DESCRIPTION:**Pip could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in the --extra-index-url option. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: This vulnerability is being disputed as the vulnerability being reported is the intended functionality and the user is responsible for using --extra-index-url securely.
