==2.2.2→==2.7.0==1.26.19→==2.7.0urllib3 redirects are not disabled when retries are disabled on PoolManager instantiation
CVE-2025-50181 / GHSA-pq67-6m6q-mj2v
More information
Details
urllib3 handles redirects and retries using the same mechanism, which is controlled by the
Retryobject. The most common way to disable redirects is at the request level, as follows:However, it is also possible to disable redirects, for all requests, by instantiating a
PoolManagerand specifyingretriesin a way that disable redirects:However, the
retriesparameter is currently ignored, which means all the above examples don't disable redirects.Affected usages
Passing
retriesonPoolManagerinstantiation to disable redirects or restrict their number.By default, requests and botocore users are not affected.
Impact
Redirects are often used to exploit SSRF vulnerabilities. An application attempting to mitigate SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities by disabling redirects at the PoolManager level will remain vulnerable.
Remediation
You can remediate this vulnerability with the following steps:
request()level instead of thePoolManager()level.Severity

urllib3 does not control redirects in browsers and Node.js
CVE-2025-50182 / GHSA-48p4-8xcf-vxj5
More information
Details
urllib3 supports being used in a Pyodide runtime utilizing the JavaScript Fetch API or falling back on XMLHttpRequest. This means you can use Python libraries to make HTTP requests from your browser or Node.js. Additionally, urllib3 provides a mechanism to control redirects.
However, the
retriesandredirectparameters are ignored with Pyodide; the runtime itself determines redirect behavior.Affected usages
Any code which relies on urllib3 to control the number of redirects for an HTTP request in a Pyodide runtime.
Impact
Redirects are often used to exploit SSRF vulnerabilities. An application attempting to mitigate SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities by disabling redirects may remain vulnerable if a Pyodide runtime redirect mechanism is unsuitable.
Remediation
If you use urllib3 in Node.js, upgrade to a patched version of urllib3.
Unfortunately, browsers provide no suitable way which urllib3 can use:
XMLHttpRequestprovides no control over redirects, the Fetch API returnsopaqueredirectresponses lacking data when redirects are controlled manually. Expect default browser behavior for redirects.Severity

urllib3 allows an unbounded number of links in the decompression chain
CVE-2025-66418 / GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53
More information
Details
Impact
urllib3 supports chained HTTP encoding algorithms for response content according to RFC 9110 (e.g.,
Content-Encoding: gzip, zstd).However, the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data.
Affected usages
Applications and libraries using urllib3 version 2.5.0 and earlier for HTTP requests to untrusted sources unless they disable content decoding explicitly.
Remediation
Upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.0 in which the library limits the number of links to 5.
If upgrading is not immediately possible, use
preload_content=Falseand ensure thatresp.headers["content-encoding"]contains a safe number of encodings before reading the response content.Severity

urllib3 streaming API improperly handles highly compressed data
CVE-2025-66471 / GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37
More information
Details
Impact
urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once.
When streaming a compressed response, urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP
Content-Encodingheader (e.g.,gzip,deflate,br, orzstd). The library must read compressed data from the network and decompress it until the requested chunk size is met. Any resulting decompressed data that exceeds the requested amount is held in an internal buffer for the next read operation.The decompression logic could cause urllib3 to fully decode a small amount of highly compressed data in a single operation. This can result in excessive resource consumption (high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data; CWE-409) on the client side, even if the application only requested a small chunk of data.
Affected usages
Applications and libraries using urllib3 version 2.5.0 and earlier to stream large compressed responses or content from untrusted sources.
stream(),read(amt=256),read1(amt=256),read_chunked(amt=256),readinto(b)are examples ofurllib3.HTTPResponsemethod calls using the affected logic unless decoding is disabled explicitly.Remediation
Upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.0 in which the library avoids decompressing data that exceeds the requested amount.
If your environment contains a package facilitating the Brotli encoding, upgrade to at least Brotli 1.2.0 or brotlicffi 1.2.0.0 too. These versions are enforced by the
urllib3[brotli]extra in the patched versions of urllib3.Credits

Decompression-bomb safeguards bypassed when following HTTP redirects (streaming API)
CVE-2026-21441 / GHSA-38jv-5279-wg99
More information
Details
Impact
urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once.
urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP
Content-Encodingheader (e.g.,gzip,deflate,br, orzstd). When using the streaming API, the library decompresses only the necessary bytes, enabling partial content consumption.However, for HTTP redirect responses, the library would read the entire response body to drain the connection and decompress the content unnecessarily. This decompression occurred even before any read methods were called, and configured read limits did not restrict the amount of decompressed data. As a result, there was no safeguard against decompression bombs. A malicious server could exploit this to trigger excessive resource consumption on the client (high CPU usage and large memory allocations for decompressed data; CWE-409).
Affected usages
Applications and libraries using urllib3 version 2.6.2 and earlier to stream content from untrusted sources by setting
preload_content=Falsewhen they do not disable redirects.Remediation
Upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.3 in which the library does not decode content of redirect responses when
preload_content=False.If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable redirects by setting
redirect=Falsefor requests to untrusted source.Severity

urllib3: Sensitive headers forwarded across origins in proxied low-level redirects
CVE-2026-44431 / GHSA-qccp-gfcp-xxvc
More information
Details
Impact
When following cross-origin redirects for requests made using urllib3’s high-level APIs, such as
urllib3.request(),PoolManager.request(), andProxyManager.request(), sensitive headers —Authorization,Cookie, andProxy-Authorization(defined inRetry.DEFAULT_REMOVE_HEADERS_ON_REDIRECT) — are stripped by default, as expected.However, cross-origin redirects followed from the low-level API via
ProxyManager.connection_from_url().urlopen(..., assert_same_host=False)still forward these sensitive headers.Affected usage
Applications and libraries using urllib3 versions earlier than 2.7.0 may be affected if they allow cross-origin redirects while making requests through
HTTPConnection.urlopen()instances created viaProxyManager.connection_from_url().Remediation
Upgrade to urllib3 version 2.7.0 or later, in which sensitive headers are stripped from redirects followed by
HTTPConnection.If upgrading is not immediately possible, avoid using this low-level redirect flow for cross-origin redirects. If appropriate for your use case, switch to
ProxyManager.request().Severity

More information
Details
urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.

Improper Certificate Validation in urllib3
CVE-2019-11324 / GHSA-mh33-7rrq-662w
More information
Details
The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome.

CookieHTTP header isn't stripped on cross-origin redirectsCVE-2023-43804 / GHSA-v845-jxx5-vc9f
More information
Details
urllib3 doesn't treat the
CookieHTTP 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 aCookieheader and unknowingly leak information via HTTP redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly.Users must handle redirects themselves instead of relying on urllib3's automatic redirects to achieve safe processing of the
Cookieheader, thus we decided to strip the header by default in order to further protect users who aren't using the correct approach.Affected usages
We believe the number of usages affected by this advisory is low. It requires all of the following to be true to be exploited:
Cookieheader on requests, which is mostly typical for impersonating a browser.Remediation
redirects=Falsewhen sending requests.Cookieheader.Severity

urllib3's request body not stripped after redirect from 303 status changes request method to GET
CVE-2023-45803 / GHSA-g4mx-q9vg-27p4
More information
Details
urllib3 previously wouldn't remove the HTTP request body when an HTTP redirect response using status 303 "See Other" after the request had its method changed from one that could accept a request body (like
POST) toGETas is required by HTTP RFCs. Although the behavior of removing the request body is not specified in the section for redirects, it can be inferred by piecing together information from different sections and we have observed the behavior in other major HTTP client implementations like curl and web browsers.From RFC 9110 Section 9.3.1:
Affected usages
Because the vulnerability requires a previously trusted service to become compromised in order to have an impact on confidentiality we believe the exploitability of this vulnerability is low. Additionally, many users aren't putting sensitive data in HTTP request bodies, if this is the case then this vulnerability isn't exploitable.
Both of the following conditions must be true to be affected by this vulnerability:
Remediation
You can remediate this vulnerability with any of the following steps:
redirects=False.redirects=Falseand handle 303 redirects manually by stripping the HTTP request body.Severity

urllib3's Proxy-Authorization request header isn't stripped during cross-origin redirects
CVE-2024-37891 / GHSA-34jh-p97f-mpxf
More information
Details
When using urllib3's proxy support with
ProxyManager, theProxy-Authorizationheader is only sent to the configured proxy, as expected.However, when sending HTTP requests without using urllib3's proxy support, it's possible to accidentally configure the
Proxy-Authorizationheader even though it won't have any effect as the request is not using a forwarding proxy or a tunneling proxy. In those cases, urllib3 doesn't treat theProxy-AuthorizationHTTP header as one carrying authentication material and thus doesn't strip the header on cross-origin redirects.Because this is a highly unlikely scenario, we believe the severity of this vulnerability is low for almost all users. Out of an abundance of caution urllib3 will automatically strip the
Proxy-Authorizationheader during cross-origin redirects to avoid the small chance that users are doing this on accident.Users should use urllib3's proxy support or disable automatic redirects to achieve safe processing of the
Proxy-Authorizationheader, but we still decided to strip the header by default in order to further protect users who aren't using the correct approach.Affected usages
We believe the number of usages affected by this advisory is low. It requires all of the following to be true to be exploited:
Proxy-Authorizationheader without using urllib3's built-in proxy support.Remediation
Proxy-Authorizationheader with urllib3'sProxyManager.redirects=Falsewhen sending requests.Proxy-Authorizationheader.Severity
