Advisory

Urllib3 1.26.4 includes a fix for CVE-2021-28363: The urllib3 library 1.26.x before 1.26.4 for Python omits SSL certificate validation in some cases involving HTTPS to HTTPS proxies. The initial connection to the HTTPS proxy (if an SSLContext isn't given via proxy_config) doesn't verify the hostname of the certificate. This means certificates for different servers that still validate properly with the default urllib3 SSLContext will be silently accepted.

Affected package

urllib3

Latest version: 2.2.3

HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post, and more.
