Upgrade Centos:8 platform-python-pip to version 0:9.0.3-16.el8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream platform-python-pip package and not the platform-python-pip package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
The Requests package before 2.20.0 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network.
