CVE-2018-25091

urllib3 anterior a 1.24.2 no elimina el encabezado HTTP de autorización cuando se sigue una redirección de origen cruzado (es decir, una redirección que difiere en host, puerto o esquema). Esto puede permitir que las credenciales en el encabezado de autorización se expongan a hosts no deseados o se transmitan en texto plano. NOTA: este problema existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2018-20060 (que distinguía entre mayúsculas y minúsculas).

A flaw was found in the urllib3 package. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to information exposure through sent data when the authorization HTTP header is not removed during a cross-origin redirect. An attacker can expose credentials in the authorization header to unintended hosts or transmit them in clear text by exploiting the incomplete fix for CVE-2018-20060.

It was discovered that urllib3 didn't strip HTTP Authorization header on cross-origin redirects. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that urllib3 didn't strip HTTP Cookie header on cross-origin redirects. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
