The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CESA-2023:4520 advisory.
rebuild_proxies
to reattach the Proxy-Authorization
header to requests. For HTTP connections sent through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the Proxy-Authorization
header must be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version 2.31.0.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the

- Requests is a HTTP library. Since Requests 2.3.0, Requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to
destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. This is a product of how we use
`rebuild_proxies` to reattach the `Proxy-Authorization` header to requests. For HTTP connections sent
through the tunnel, the proxy will identify the header in the request itself and remove it prior to
forwarding to the destination server. However when sent over HTTPS, the `Proxy-Authorization` header must
be sent in the CONNECT request as the proxy has no visibility into the tunneled request. This results in
Requests forwarding proxy credentials to the destination server unintentionally, allowing a malicious
actor to potentially exfiltrate sensitive information. This issue has been patched in version 2.31.0.
