Title:Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for python-requests (EulerOS-SA-2023-2741)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'python-requests' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2741 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'python-requests' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2741 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Requests is a HTTP library. Since Requests 2.3.0, Requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. This is a product of how we use `rebuild_proxies` to reattach the `Proxy-Authorization` header to requests. For HTTP connections sent through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the `Proxy-Authorization` header must be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version 2.31.0.(CVE-2023-32681)

Affected Software/OS:
'python-requests' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS Virtualization release 2.11.1.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
