SCA: security update for urllib3 (GHSA-5phf-pp7p-vc2r)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410956

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The urllib3 library 1.26.x before 1.26.4 for Python omits SSL certificate validation in some cases
 involving HTTPS to HTTPS proxies. The initial connection to the HTTPS proxy (if an SSLContext isn't given
 via proxy_config) doesn't verify the hostname of the certificate. This means certificates for different
 servers that still validate properly with the default urllib3 SSLContext will be silently accepted.
 (CVE-2021-28363)
