Mercurial before 1.0.2 does not enforce the allowpull permission setting for a pull operation from hgweb, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from a repository via an "hg pull" request.

MEDIUM 5.0EPSS 2.70%

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.70%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
