High (8.2) in python urllib3. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in urllib3 2.7.0.
urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. From 1.23 to before 2.7.0, cross-origin redirects followed from the low-level API via ProxyManager.connection_from_url().urlopen(..., assert_same_host=False) still forward these sensitive headers. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.7.0.
