What is CVE-2025-50182?

The vulnerability in urllib3 prior to version 2.5.0 allows improper control of HTTP redirects when utilized in Pyodide runtime environments. This occurs because while urllib3 does provide parameters for managing redirects, these are bypassed in Pyodide, leading to potential security risks as the underlying runtime decides the redirect behavior. This flaw underscores the necessity for developers to upgrade to urllib3 version 2.5.0, where this issue has been resolved, ensuring that HTTP requests are managed more securely across various environments.

Affected Version(s)

urllib3 < 2.5.0
