Vulnerability Details

Requests is a HTTP library. Prior to 2.32.0, when making requests through a Requests "Session", if the first request is made with "verify=False" to disable cert verification, all subsequent requests to the same host will continue to ignore cert verification regardless of changes to the value of "verify". This behavior will continue for the lifecycle of the connection in the connection pool. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.32.0.
Mend Note: The description of this vulnerability differs from MITRE.
