CVE-2018-25091 (GCVE-0-2018-25091)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-10-15 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 19:01
VLAI
Summary
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).
