GitHub Dependabot flagged a moderate security vulnerability in the default branch. https://github.com/osrf/buildfarm-tools/security/dependabot/1

  • Package: urllib3
  • Affected versions: < 2.5.0
  • Patched version: 2.5.0
  • Details: PoolManager ignores the retries parameter, failing to disable redirects and potentially exposing the application to SSRF or open redirect vulnerabilities.

As a comment in requirements.txt said, this library was pinned in that version because some time ago it had a bug in Default timeout but this was fixed in 2024-09-30

Remediation:
Update requirements.txt to enforce urllib3>=2.5.0.

Historical question

Is this really being used in any part? I can´t find any call to this dependency
