"The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2023:4520 advisory.

  - 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.
    (CVE-2023-32681)
