Description

urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.

Solution(s)

  • amazon-linux-ami-2-upgrade-python-urllib3
  • amazon-linux-ami-2-upgrade-python-virtualenv
