CVE-2023-32681 Vulnerability

Description:

Requests is a HTTP library. Since Requests 2.3.0, Requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. This is a product of how we use rebuild_proxies to reattach the Proxy-Authorization header to requests. For HTTP connections sent through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the Proxy-Authorization header must be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version 2.31.0.

Solution:

Remove or update the package(s) and version(s) which are causing this vulnerability.

Fix:

Update to a vulnerability-free version of the package 'requests' in your manifest to ensure that the vulnerable version is no longer used, even if it is still referenced in your dependency tree.
