CVE-2023-43804
Public on 2023-10-04
Modified on 2024-06-05
Description
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.
The fix for this issue involves a backward-incompatible change to python-urllib3. Considering the risks of negatively affecting a critical functionality of Amazon Linux and the limited impact of CVE-2023-43804, a fix will not be provided for Amazon Linux 2 at this time.
