Fluid Attacks Database

Description

Insufficiently Protected Credentials in Requests 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.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
