Upgrade requests to version 2.33.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Temporary File via the extract_zipped_paths function. An attacker can leverage unauthorized file replacement by pre-creating a malicious file in the system's temporary directory prior to extraction.
Note: Only applications that call extract_zipped_paths() directly are impacted.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting the TMPDIR environment variable to a directory with restricted write access.
