CVE-2018-18074 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-mongodb36-python-requests.src package and not the rh-mongodb36-python-requests.src package as distributed by RHEL.
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.
