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):
- HTTP → HTTPS: leak
- HTTPS → HTTP: no leak
- HTTPS → HTTPS: leak
- 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 settingverify=Falsefor the first request to a host while using a Requests Session. - For
requests<2.32.0, callclose()onSessionobjects to clear existing connections ifverify=Falseis used.

Release Notes
psf/requests (requests)
v2.32.4
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
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
sslmodule. (#6724)
v2.32.2
Deprecations
-
To provide a more stable migration for custom HTTPAdapters impacted by the CVE changes in 2.32.0, we've renamed
_get_connectionto a new public API,get_connection_with_tls_context. Existing custom HTTPAdapters will need to migrate their code to use this new API.get_connectionis 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
Bugfixes
- Add missing test certs to the sdist distributed on PyPI.
v2.32.0
Security
- Fixed an issue where setting
verify=Falseon the first request from a Session will cause subsequent requests to the same origin to also ignore cert verification, regardless of the value ofverify. (https://github.com/psf/requests/security/advisories/GHSA-9wx4-h78v-vm56)
Improvements
-
verify=Truenow 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
(
chardetorcharset_normalizer) when repackaged or vendored. This enablespipand other projects to minimize their vendoring surface area. TheResponse.text()andapparent_encodingAPIs will default toutf-8if 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 insrc/requestsin 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
Security
-
Versions of Requests between v2.3.0 and v2.30.0 are vulnerable to potential forwarding of
Proxy-Authorizationheaders to destination servers when following HTTPS redirects.When proxies are defined with user info (
https://user:pass@proxy:8080), Requests will construct aProxy-Authorizationheader that is attached to the request to authenticate with the proxy.In cases where Requests receives a redirect response, it previously reattached the
Proxy-Authorizationheader 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.
v2.30.0
Dependencies
-
⚠️ Added support for urllib3 2.0.⚠️ This may contain minor breaking changes so we advise careful testing and reviewing https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/v2-migration-guide.html prior to upgrading.
Users who wish to stay on urllib3 1.x can pin to
urllib3<2.
v2.29.0
Improvements
- Requests now defers chunked requests to the urllib3 implementation to improve standardization. (#6226)
- Requests relaxes header component requirements to support bytes/str subclasses. (#6356)
v2.28.2
Dependencies
- Requests now supports charset_normalizer 3.x. (#6261)
Bugfixes
- Updated MissingSchema exception to suggest https scheme rather than http. (#6188)
v2.28.1
Improvements
- Speed optimization in
iter_contentwith transition toyield from. (#6170)
Dependencies
v2.28.0
Deprecations
-
⚠️ Requests has officially dropped support for Python 2.7.⚠️ (#6091) - Requests has officially dropped support for Python 3.6 (including pypy3.6). (#6091)
Improvements
- Wrap JSON parsing issues in Request's JSONDecodeError for payloads without
an encoding to make
json()API consistent. (#6097) - Parse header components consistently, raising an InvalidHeader error in all invalid cases. (#6154)
- Added provisional 3.11 support with current beta build. (#6155)
- Requests got a makeover and we decided to paint it black. (#6095)
Bugfixes
- Fixed bug where setting
CURL_CA_BUNDLEto an empty string would disable cert verification. All Requests 2.x versions before 2.28.0 are affected. (#6074) - Fixed urllib3 exception leak, wrapping
urllib3.exceptions.SSLErrorwithrequests.exceptions.SSLErrorforcontentanditer_content. (#6057) - Fixed issue where invalid Windows registry entries caused proxy resolution to raise an exception rather than ignoring the entry. (#6149)
- Fixed issue where entire payload could be included in the error message for JSONDecodeError. (#6036)
v2.27.1
Bugfixes
- Fixed parsing issue that resulted in the
authcomponent being dropped from proxy URLs. (#6028)
v2.27.0
Improvements
-
Officially added support for Python 3.10. (#5928)
-
Added a
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeErrorto unify JSON exceptions between Python 2 and 3. This gets raised in theresponse.json()method, and is backwards compatible as it inherits from previously thrown exceptions. Can be caught fromrequests.exceptions.RequestExceptionas well. (#5856) -
Improved error text for misnamed
InvalidSchemaandMissingSchemaexceptions. This is a temporary fix until exceptions can be renamed (Schema->Scheme). (#6017) -

Proxy-Authorizationwas incorrectly stripped from all requests sent withSession.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
UnicodeErrorwithrequests.exceptions.InvalidURLfor 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
Improvements
-
Requests now supports Brotli compression, if either the
brotliorbrotlicffipackage is installed. (#5783) -
Session.sendnow correctly resolves proxy configurations from both the Session and Request. Behavior now matchesSession.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-licensedcharset_normalizerfor Python3 to remove license ambiguity for projects bundling requests. Ifchardetis already installed on your machine it will be used instead ofcharset_normalizerto keep backwards compatibility. (#5797)You can also install
chardetwhile installing requests by specifying[use_chardet_on_py3]extra as follows:pip install "requests[use_chardet_on_py3]"Python2 still depends upon the
chardetmodule. -
Requests now supports
idna3.x on Python 3.idna2.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
Bugfixes
- Requests now treats
application/jsonasutf8by default. Resolving inconsistencies betweenr.textandr.jsonoutput. (#5673)
Dependencies
- Requests now supports chardet v4.x.
v2.25.0
Improvements

- The
requests[security]extra is officially deprecated and will be removed in Requests v2.26.0.
v2.24.0
Improvements
-
pyOpenSSL TLS implementation is now only used if Python either doesn't have an
sslmodule or doesn't support SNI. Previously pyOpenSSL was unconditionally used if available. This applies even if pyOpenSSL is installed via therequests[security]extra (#5443) -
Redirect resolution should now only occur when
allow_redirectsis True. (#5492) -
No longer perform unnecessary Content-Length calculation for requests that won't use it. (#5496)
