Red Hat has released updated python-requests packages that fix this vulnerability. Users of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 and affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems should apply the security update described in Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2024:9988. Refer to https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 for detailed update instructions. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.
Description
When using a `requests.Session`, if the first request to a given origin is made with `verify=False`, TLS certificate verification may remain disabled for all subsequent requests to that origin, even if `verify=True` is explicitly specified later. This occurs because the underlying connection is reused from the session's connection pool, causing the initial TLS verification setting to persist for the lifetime of the pooled connection. As a result, applications may unintentionally send requests without certificate verification, leading to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and compromised confidentiality or integrity. This behavior affects versions of `requests` prior to 2.32.0.
