Security Advisory Description

The Requests package before 2.20.0 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. (CVE-2018-18074)

Impact

For products with None in theVersions known to be vulnerable column, there is no impact.

This vulnerability may allow credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.
