Question

A cloud engineer must upgrade the pip Python module by running the following command:

python.exe -m pip install -upgrade pip

However, after entering the command, the engineer receives this error message:

WARNINg: Retrying (Retry(TOTAL=4 connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None) after connection broken by 'SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, [SSL: /packages/07/51/abasciekdkgiyiykrieeeotlriturjaab/pip-27.4.3.py3-none-any.whl

Given this scenario, which of the following is most likely causing the issue?

Explanation

pip verifies SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS network connections to protect package downloads. An SSLCertVerificationError specifically means certificate validation failed, which commonly occurs when the package repository’s certificate or its issuing CA is absent from the trusted certificate store. pip supports specifying an appropriate certificate bundle when a different trust store is required.
