"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0797 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-37891:
     urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. When using urllib3's proxy support with
    ProxyManager, the Proxy-Authorization header is only sent to the configured proxy, as expected. However,
    when sending HTTP requests *without* using urllib3's proxy support, it's possible to accidentally
    configure the Proxy-Authorization header even though it won't have any effect as the request is not using
    a forwarding proxy or a tunneling proxy. In those cases, urllib3 doesn't treat the Proxy-Authorization
    HTTP header as one carrying authentication material and thus doesn't strip the header on cross-origin
    redirects. Because this is a highly unlikely scenario, we believe the severity of this vulnerability is
    low for almost all users. Out of an abundance of caution urllib3 will automatically strip the Proxy-
    Authorization header during cross-origin redirects to avoid the small chance that users are doing this on
    accident. Users should use urllib3's proxy support or disable automatic redirects to achieve safe
    processing of the Proxy-Authorization header, but we still decided to strip the header by default in order
    to further protect users who aren't using the correct approach. We believe the number of usages affected
    by this advisory is low. It requires all of the following to be true to be exploited: 1. Setting the
    Proxy-Authorization header without using urllib3's built-in proxy support. 2. Not disabling HTTP
    redirects. 3. Either not using an HTTPS origin server or for the proxy or target origin to redirect to a
    malicious origin. Users are advised to update to either version 1.26.19 or version 2.2.2. Users unable to
    upgrade may use the Proxy-Authorization header with urllib3's ProxyManager, disable HTTP redirects using
    redirects=False when sending requests, or not user the Proxy-Authorization header as mitigations.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
