disallow abbreviated forms of full option names#4907
Merged
Conversation
Previously, due to default behavior of ArgumentParser, global --index-url, --extra-index-url, and --trusted-host options in requirements files could be abbreviated (e.g. "--index" == "--index-url"). As a result, unexpected behavior could occur during processing of a requirements file with these shortened option names when using Pipenv, which could be exploited by a malicious actor to surreptitiously insert pip options using non-obvious abbreviations. For example, adding a line with "--t example.com" to the requirements file would cause Pipenv to treat example.com as trusted, even when example.com presents an invalid TLS certificate. This commit disables support for abbreviated options in the ArgumentParser, to align Pipenv's behavior when parsing global options in a requirements file with the behavior in pip, as expected.

Additional fix for #4899
