There’s a flaw in urllib’s AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who
controls a malicious HTTP server that an HTTP client (such as web browser)
connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDOS)
during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is
sent by the server to the client. The greatest threat that this flaw poses
is to application availability.

Notes

Author Note
leosilva code affected in hirsute and devel is already patched, so both releases in python3.9 are not affected.
