NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39:3.9/python39-urllib3 package and not the python39:3.9/python39-urllib3 package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions improperly validated bracketed hosts ([]), allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. This behavior was not conformant to RFC 3986 and potentially enabled SSRF if a URL is processed by more than one URL parser.
