Ubuntu priority
Cvss 3 Severity Score
urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. urllib3 doesn't treat the `Cookie` HTTP header special or provide any helpers for managing cookies over HTTP, that is the responsibility of the user. However, it is possible for a user to specify a `Cookie` header and unknowingly leak information via HTTP redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly. This issue has been patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5.

On focal and earlier, the python-pip package bundles python-urllib3 binaries when built. After updating python-urllib3, a no-change rebuild of python-pip is required. On jammy and later, python-urllib3 is bundled in the python-pip package and needs to be patched.
