high Nessus Plugin ID 137972

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the python-requests package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - 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)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
