Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: python-urllib3 / python3 (CVE-2025-50181)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 244785

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of python-urllib3 / python3 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-50181 advisory.

 - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Prior to 2.5.0, it is possible to disable redirects for all requests by instantiating a PoolManager and specifying retries in a way that disable redirects. By default, requests and botocore users are not affected. An application attempting to mitigate SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities by disabling redirects at the PoolManager level will remain vulnerable. This issue has been patched in version 2.5.0. (CVE-2025-50181)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
