high Nessus Plugin ID 191282

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for python3-urllib3.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the python- urllib3-1.26.5-4.el9 build changelog.

 - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. urllib3 doesn't treat the `Cookie` HTTP 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 a `Cookie` header and unknowingly leak information via HTTP redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly. This issue has been patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5. (CVE-2023-43804)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream python3-urllib3 package.
