CVE-2023-32681 / GHSA-j8r2-6x86-q33q / PYSEC-2023-74

More information

Details

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.

Unintended leak of Proxy-Authorization header in requests

CVE-2023-32681 / GHSA-j8r2-6x86-q33q / PYSEC-2023-74

More information

Details

Impact

Since Requests v2.3.0, Requests has been vulnerable to potentially leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers, specifically during redirects to an HTTPS origin. This is a product of how rebuild_proxies is used to recompute and reattach the Proxy-Authorization header to requests when redirected. Note this behavior has only been observed to affect proxied requests when credentials are supplied in the URL user information component (e.g. https://username:password@proxy:8080).

Current vulnerable behavior(s):

  1. HTTP → HTTPS: leak
  2. HTTPS → HTTP: no leak
  3. HTTPS → HTTPS: leak
  4. HTTP → HTTP: no leak

For HTTP connections sent through the proxy, 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 further tunneled requests. This results in Requests forwarding the header to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious actor to potentially exfiltrate those credentials.

The reason this currently works for HTTPS connections in Requests is the Proxy-Authorization header is also handled by urllib3 with our usage of the ProxyManager in adapters.py with proxy_manager_for. This will compute the required proxy headers in proxy_headers and pass them to the Proxy Manager, avoiding attaching them directly to the Request object. This will be our preferred option going forward for default usage.

Patches

Starting in Requests v2.31.0, Requests will no longer attach this header to redirects with an HTTPS destination. This should have no negative impacts on the default behavior of the library as the proxy credentials are already properly being handled by urllib3's ProxyManager.

For users with custom adapters, this may be potentially breaking if you were already working around this behavior. The previous functionality of rebuild_proxies doesn't make sense in any case, so we would encourage any users impacted to migrate any handling of Proxy-Authorization directly into their custom adapter.

Workarounds

For users who are not able to update Requests immediately, there is one potential workaround.

You may disable redirects by setting allow_redirects to False on all calls through Requests top-level APIs. Note that if you're currently relying on redirect behaviors, you will need to capture the 3xx response codes and ensure a new request is made to the redirect destination.

import requests
r = requests.get('http://github.com/', allow_redirects=False)

Requests Session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False

CVE-2024-35195 / GHSA-9wx4-h78v-vm56

More information

Details

When making requests through a Requests Session, if the first request is made with verify=False to disable cert verification, all subsequent requests to the same origin will continue to ignore cert verification regardless of changes to the value of verify. This behavior will continue for the lifecycle of the connection in the connection pool.

Remediation

Any of these options can be used to remediate the current issue, we highly recommend upgrading as the preferred mitigation.

  • Upgrade to requests>=2.32.0.
  • For requests<2.32.0, avoid setting verify=False for the first request to a host while using a Requests Session.
  • For requests<2.32.0, call close() on Session objects to clear existing connections if verify=False is used.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 5.6 / 10 (Medium)

Requests vulnerable to .netrc credentials leak via malicious URLs

CVE-2024-47081 / GHSA-9hjg-9r4m-mvj7

More information

Details

Impact

Due to a URL parsing issue, Requests releases prior to 2.32.4 may leak .netrc credentials to third parties for specific maliciously-crafted URLs.

Workarounds

For older versions of Requests, use of the .netrc file can be disabled with trust_env=False on your Requests Session (docs).

Release Notes

psf/requests (requests)

v2.32.4

Compare Source

Security

  • CVE-2024-47081 Fixed an issue where a maliciously crafted URL and trusted environment will retrieve credentials for the wrong hostname/machine from a netrc file.

Improvements

  • Numerous documentation improvements

Deprecations

  • Added support for pypy 3.11 for Linux and macOS.
  • Dropped support for pypy 3.9 following its end of support.

v2.32.3

Compare Source

Bugfixes

  • Fixed bug breaking the ability to specify custom SSLContexts in sub-classes of HTTPAdapter. (#​6716)
  • Fixed issue where Requests started failing to run on Python versions compiled without the ssl module. (#​6724)

v2.32.2

Compare Source

Deprecations

  • To provide a more stable migration for custom HTTPAdapters impacted by the CVE changes in 2.32.0, we've renamed _get_connection to a new public API, get_connection_with_tls_context. Existing custom HTTPAdapters will need to migrate their code to use this new API. get_connection is considered deprecated in all versions of Requests>=2.32.0.

    A minimal (2-line) example has been provided in the linked MR to ease migration, but we strongly urge users to evaluate if their custom adapter is subject to the same issue described in CVE-2024-35195. (#​6710)

v2.32.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

  • Add missing test certs to the sdist distributed on PyPI.

v2.32.0

Compare Source

Security

Improvements

  • verify=True now reuses a global SSLContext which should improve request time variance between first and subsequent requests. It should also minimize certificate load time on Windows systems when using a Python version built with OpenSSL 3.x. (#​6667)
  • Requests now supports optional use of character detection (chardet or charset_normalizer) when repackaged or vendored. This enables pip and other projects to minimize their vendoring surface area. The Response.text() and apparent_encoding APIs will default to utf-8 if neither library is present. (#​6702)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed bug in length detection where emoji length was incorrectly calculated in the request content-length. (#​6589)
  • Fixed deserialization bug in JSONDecodeError. (#​6629)
  • Fixed bug where an extra leading / (path separator) could lead urllib3 to unnecessarily reparse the request URI. (#​6644)

Deprecations

  • Requests has officially added support for CPython 3.12 (#​6503)
  • Requests has officially added support for PyPy 3.9 and 3.10 (#​6641)
  • Requests has officially dropped support for CPython 3.7 (#​6642)
  • Requests has officially dropped support for PyPy 3.7 and 3.8 (#​6641)

Documentation

  • Various typo fixes and doc improvements.

Packaging

  • Requests has started adopting some modern packaging practices. The source files for the projects (formerly requests) is now located in src/requests in the Requests sdist. (#​6506)
  • Starting in Requests 2.33.0, Requests will migrate to a PEP 517 build system using hatchling. This should not impact the average user, but extremely old versions of packaging utilities may have issues with the new packaging format.

v2.31.0

Compare Source

Security

  • Versions of Requests between v2.3.0 and v2.30.0 are vulnerable to potential forwarding of Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when following HTTPS redirects.

    When proxies are defined with user info (https://user:pass@proxy:8080), Requests will construct a Proxy-Authorization header that is attached to the request to authenticate with the proxy.

    In cases where Requests receives a redirect response, it previously reattached the Proxy-Authorization header incorrectly, resulting in the value being sent through the tunneled connection to the destination server. Users who rely on defining their proxy credentials in the URL are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Requests 2.31.0+ to prevent unintentional leakage and rotate their proxy credentials once the change has been fully deployed.

    Users who do not use a proxy or do not supply their proxy credentials through the user information portion of their proxy URL are not subject to this vulnerability.

    Full details can be read in our Github Security Advisory and CVE-2023-32681.

v2.27.0

Compare Source

Improvements

  • Officially added support for Python 3.10. (#​5928)

  • Added a requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError to unify JSON exceptions between Python 2 and 3. This gets raised in the response.json() method, and is backwards compatible as it inherits from previously thrown exceptions. Can be caught from requests.exceptions.RequestException as well. (#​5856)

  • Improved error text for misnamed InvalidSchema and MissingSchema exceptions. This is a temporary fix until exceptions can be renamed (Schema->Scheme). (#​6017)

  • Improved proxy parsing for proxy URLs missing a scheme. This will address recent changes to urlparse in Python 3.9+. (#​5917)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed defect in extract_zipped_paths which could result in an infinite loop for some paths. (#​5851)

  • Fixed handling for AttributeError when calculating length of files obtained by Tarfile.extractfile(). (#​5239)

  • Fixed urllib3 exception leak, wrapping urllib3.exceptions.InvalidHeader with requests.exceptions.InvalidHeader. (#​5914)

  • Fixed bug where two Host headers were sent for chunked requests. (#​5391)

  • Fixed regression in Requests 2.26.0 where Proxy-Authorization was incorrectly stripped from all requests sent with Session.send. (#​5924)

  • Fixed performance regression in 2.26.0 for hosts with a large number of proxies available in the environment. (#​5924)

  • Fixed idna exception leak, wrapping UnicodeError with requests.exceptions.InvalidURL for URLs with a leading dot (.) in the domain. (#​5414)

Deprecations

  • Requests support for Python 2.7 and 3.6 will be ending in 2022. While we don't have exact dates, Requests 2.27.x is likely to be the last release series providing support.

v2.26.0

Compare Source

Improvements

  • Requests now supports Brotli compression, if either the brotli or brotlicffi package is installed. (#​5783)

  • Session.send now correctly resolves proxy configurations from both the Session and Request. Behavior now matches Session.request. (#​5681)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a race condition in zip extraction when using Requests in parallel from zip archive. (#​5707)

Dependencies

  • Instead of chardet, use the MIT-licensed charset_normalizer for Python3 to remove license ambiguity for projects bundling requests. If chardet is already installed on your machine it will be used instead of charset_normalizer to keep backwards compatibility. (#​5797)

    You can also install chardet while installing requests by specifying [use_chardet_on_py3] extra as follows:

    pip install "requests[use_chardet_on_py3]"

    Python2 still depends upon the chardet module.

  • Requests now supports idna 3.x on Python 3. idna 2.x will continue to be used on Python 2 installations. (#​5711)

Deprecations

  • The requests[security] extra has been converted to a no-op install. PyOpenSSL is no longer the recommended secure option for Requests. (#​5867)

  • Requests has officially dropped support for Python 3.5. (#​5867)

v2.25.1

Compare Source

Bugfixes

  • Requests now treats application/json as utf8 by default. Resolving inconsistencies between r.text and r.json output. (#​5673)

Dependencies

  • Requests now supports chardet v4.x.

v2.25.0

Compare Source

Improvements

  • Added support for NETRC environment variable. (#​5643)

Dependencies

  • Requests now supports urllib3 v1.26.

Deprecations

  • Requests v2.25.x will be the last release series with support for Python 3.5.
  • The requests[security] extra is officially deprecated and will be removed in Requests v2.26.0.

v2.24.0

Compare Source

Improvements

  • pyOpenSSL TLS implementation is now only used if Python either doesn't have an ssl module or doesn't support SNI. Previously pyOpenSSL was unconditionally used if available. This applies even if pyOpenSSL is installed via the requests[security] extra (#​5443)

  • Redirect resolution should now only occur when allow_redirects is True. (#​5492)

  • No longer perform unnecessary Content-Length calculation for requests that won't use it. (#​5496)

v2.23.0

Compare Source

Improvements

  • Remove defunct reference to prefetch in Session __attrs__ (#​5110)

Bugfixes

  • Requests no longer outputs password in basic auth usage warning. (#​5099)

Dependencies

  • Pinning for chardet and idna now uses major version instead of minor. This hopefully reduces the need for releases every time a dependency is updated.

v2.22.0

Compare Source

Dependencies

  • Requests now supports urllib3 v1.25.2. (note: 1.25.0 and 1.25.1 are incompatible)

Deprecations

  • Requests has officially stopped support for Python 3.4.
