urllib3: urllib3 vulnerable to decompression-bomb safeguard bypass when following HTTP redirects (streaming API)

urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP...
