  - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. 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. This issue has been
    patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5. (CVE-2023-43804)

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