How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 python-urllib3 to version 1.13.1-2ubuntu0.16.04.3 or higher.

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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 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.
