DISPUTED An issue was discovered in pip (all versions) because it
installs the version with the highest version number, even if the user had
intended to obtain a private package from a private index. This only
affects use of the --extra-index-url option, and exploitation requires that
the package does not already exist in the public index (and thus the
attacker can put the package there with an arbitrary version number). NOTE:
it has been reported that this is intended functionality and the user is
responsible for using --extra-index-url securely.
