CVE-2021-3733

Published: 2 September 2021

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.
