Insufficiently Protected Credentials in Requests
GHSA-x84v-xcm2-53pg · CVE-2018-18074 · PYSEC-2018-28
Published · Modified
Description
The Requests package through 2.19.1 before 2018-09-14 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network.
