NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2-pymongo-gridfs package and not the python2-pymongo-gridfs 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.
