Upgrade request to version 2.20 or higher.
Overview
Requests is a Non-GMO HTTP library for Python
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, it sends the HTTP Authorization header to an http URI. This makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network.
