Vulnerability Details

urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. urllib3 doesn't treat the Cookie HTTP header special or provide any helpers for managing cookies over HTTP, that is the responsibility of the user. However, it is possible for a user to specify a Cookie header and unknowingly leak information via HTTP redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly. This issue has been patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5.

@Djcarrillo6,

Can you please work on this High Severity Vulnerability. If you're interested in fixing the detected security vulnerability, it's a straightforward process. To bump urllib3 to the latest version, simply remove Python version 3.5 from noxfile.py and .github/workflows/test.yml. Before that just comment on this issue #430 saying removing end of life python version because of security vulnerability.
You can follow this PR for guidance on the urllib3 upgrade.

Thank you.
