CVE-2022-42969: Pytest Py

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 1.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The py library through 1.11.0 for Python allows remote attackers to conduct a ReDoS (Regular expression Denial of Service) attack via a Subversion repository with crafted info data, because the InfoSvnCommand argument is mishandled. Note: This has been disputed by multiple third parties as not being reproduceable and they argue this is not a valid vulnerability.

Affected products

• Pytest Py: up to and including 1.11.0
