CVE-2024-37891
Description
A flaw was found in urllib3, an HTTP client library for Python. In certain configurations, urllib3 does not treat the Proxy-Authorization HTTP header as one carrying authentication material. This issue results in not stripping the header on cross-origin redirects.
Statement
.egg-info packages, like urllib3-1.24.2-py3.6.egg-info, store only metadata such as package version and dependencies and do not contain any affected codebase.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
