Oracle Linux: CVE-2018-25091: ELSA-2024-2988: container-tools:ol8 security update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

urllib3 before 1.24.2 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. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-20060 (which was case-sensitive).
A flaw was found in the urllib3 package. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to information exposure through sent data when the authorization HTTP header is not removed during a cross-origin redirect. An attacker can expose credentials in the authorization header to unintended hosts or transmit them in clear text by exploiting the incomplete fix for CVE-2018-20060.
