How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 python-urllib3 to version 0:1.10.2-7.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:2272.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-urllib3 package and not the python-urllib3 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.
