NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream platform-python-pip package and not the platform-python-pip package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.
