How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:8 requests.

NVD Description

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

The Requests package before 2.20.0 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network.
