QID 995496: Python (Pip) Security Update for urllib3 (GHSA-v845-jxx5-vc9f)

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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
