How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 platform-python to version 0:3.6.8-15.1.el8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream platform-python package and not the platform-python package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 supports the local_file: scheme, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that blacklist file: URIs, as demonstrated by triggering a urllib.urlopen('local_file:///etc/passwd') call.
