Vulnerability Details
urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP "Content-Encoding" header (e.g., "gzip", "deflate", "br", or "zstd"). When using the streaming API, the library decompresses only the necessary bytes, enabling partial content consumption. Starting in version 1.22 and prior to version 2.6.3, for HTTP redirect responses, the library would read the entire response body to drain the connection and decompress the content unnecessarily. This decompression occurred even before any read methods were called, and configured read limits did not restrict the amount of decompressed data. As a result, there was no safeguard against decompression bombs. A malicious server could exploit this to trigger excessive resource consumption on the client. Applications and libraries are affected when they stream content from untrusted sources by setting "preload_content=False" when they do not disable redirects. Users should upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.3, in which the library does not decode content of redirect responses when "preload_content=False". If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable redirects by setting "redirect=False" for requests to untrusted source.

Vulnerability Details
Impact urllib3's "streaming API" (https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/2.7.0/advanced-usage.html#streaming-and-i-o) is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decompression based on the HTTP "Content-Encoding" header (e.g., "gzip", "deflate", "br", or "zstd"). When using the streaming API since version 2.6.0, the library decompresses only the necessary bytes, enabling partial content consumption. However, urllib3 before version 2.7.0 could still decompress the whole response instead of the requested portion in two cases: 1. During the second "HTTPResponse.read(amt=N)" call when the response was decompressed using the official "Brotli" (https://pypi.org/project/brotli/) library. 2. When "HTTPResponse.drain_conn()" was called after the response had been read and decompressed partially (compression algorithm did not matter here). These issues could cause urllib3 to fully decode a small amount of highly compressed data in a single operation. This could result in excessive resource consumption (high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data; CWE-409) on the client side. Affected usages Applications and libraries using urllib3 versions earlier than 2.7.0 may be affected when streaming compressed responses from untrusted sources in either of these cases, unless decompression is explicitly disabled: 3. A response encoded with "br" is read incrementally with at least two "HTTPResponse.read(amt=N)" or "HTTPResponse.stream(amt=N)" calls while using the official "Brotli" (https://pypi.org/project/brotli/) library. 4. "HTTPResponse.drain_conn()" is called after response decompression has already started. Remediation Upgrade to at least urllib3 version 2.7.0 in which the library: 5. Is more efficient for reads with Brotli. 6. Always skips decompression for "HTTPResponse.drain_conn()". If upgrading is not immediately possible, the following workarounds may reduce exposure in specific cases: 7. For the Brotli-specific issue only, switch from "brotli" (https://pypi.org/project/brotli/) to "brotlicffi" (https://pypi.org/project/brotlicffi/) until you can upgrade urllib3; the official Brotli package is affected because of google/brotli#1396. 8. If your code explicitly calls "HTTPResponse.drain_conn()", call "HTTPResponse.close()" instead when connection reuse is not important. Credits The Brotli-specific issue was reported by @kimkou2024. "HTTPResponse.drain_conn()" inefficiency was reported by @Cycloctane.

Vulnerability Details
Impact When following cross-origin redirects for requests made using urllib3’s high-level APIs, such as "urllib3.request()", "PoolManager.request()", and "ProxyManager.request()", sensitive headers — "Authorization", "Cookie", and "Proxy-Authorization" (defined in "Retry.DEFAULT_REMOVE_HEADERS_ON_REDIRECT") — are stripped by default, as expected. However, cross-origin redirects followed from the low-level API via "ProxyManager.connection_from_url().urlopen(..., assert_same_host=False)" still forward these sensitive headers. Affected usage Applications and libraries using urllib3 versions earlier than 2.7.0 may be affected if they allow cross-origin redirects while making requests through "HTTPConnection.urlopen()" instances created via "ProxyManager.connection_from_url()". Remediation Upgrade to urllib3 version 2.7.0 or later, in which sensitive headers are stripped from redirects followed by "HTTPConnection". If upgrading is not immediately possible, avoid using this low-level redirect flow for cross-origin redirects. If appropriate for your use case, switch to "ProxyManager.request()".
