Descriptions

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.

urllib3 es una librería cliente HTTP fácil de usar para Python. urllib3 no trata el encabezado HTTP "Cookie" de manera especial ni proporciona ayuda para administrar las cookies a través de HTTP, eso es responsabilidad del usuario. Sin embargo, es posible que un usuario especifique un encabezado "Cookie" y, sin saberlo, filtre información a través de redireccionamientos HTTP a un origen diferente si ese usuario no deshabilita los redireccionamientos explícitamente. Este problema se solucionó en urllib3 versión 1.26.17 o 2.0.5.
