Echo: python3.13: security update to 3.13.5-2+e33

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 463923

Description

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

 - The HTTPPasswordMgr class in the urllib.request module, along with its subclasses
 HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm and HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth, did not take the URL scheme into account
 when matching stored credentials against a requested URL. Credentials added for an https:// URL were also
 used for requests to the same host over http://, so an attacker able to redirect or downgrade a client to
 plain HTTP (for example, via an HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect or an on-path position) could capture credentials
 in cleartext. Credentials added for http:// URLs could likewise be sent over https://. Credential matching
 is now scoped by URL scheme. Credentials registered with a URL that includes a scheme are only used for
 requests with the same scheme. Credentials registered with a bare authority (such as example.com or
 example.com:8080) continue to match any scheme, preserving compatibility with existing code, including
 proxy authentication. Users who cannot upgrade immediately can mitigate by ensuring that applications
 never make plain http:// requests to hosts for which credentials are registered, for example by not
 following redirects to http:// URLs. (CVE-2026-15806)

Solution

Update the python3.13 library and its related packages to version 3.13.5-2+e33 or later.
