Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The requests package versions before 2.32.4 can leak .netrc credentials to third parties when a maliciously crafted URL is processed, due to a URL parsing issue. An attacker would need to get the application to request such a URL, and the impact is exposure of the stored credentials. Upgrade to requests 2.32.4 or later. For older versions, set trust_env to False on the Requests Session to stop it from using the .netrc file.
