Requests is vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation. The vulnerability is due to a flaw where disabling certificate verification (verify=False) in the first request of a Session causes all subsequent requests to the same origin to ignore certificate verification, regardless of changes to the verify setting. This behavior will continue for the lifecycle of the connection in the connection pool.
