**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** urllib3 versions prior to 1.23 **Description** The issue is related to errors in handling registration data in the urllib3 module of the Python programming language. This can allow a remote attacker to disclose protected information. Specifically, urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the `Authorization` HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect, which can expose credentials in the `Authorization` header to unintended hosts or transmit them in cleartext. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.23, update to version 1.23 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `Authorization` header in cross-origin redirects until a patch is available. Avoid using the `Authorization` header in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
