Description

Impact Users of typed-rest-client library version 1.7.3 or lower are vulnerable to leak authentication data to 3rd parties. The flow of the vulnerability is as follows: 1. Send any request with `BasicCredentialHandler`, `BearerCredentialHandler` or `PersonalAccessTokenCredentialHandler` 2. The target host may return a redirection (3xx), with a link to a second host. 3. The next request will use the credentials to authenticate with the second host, by setting the `Authorization` header. The expected behavior is that the next request will *NOT* set the `Authorization` header. Patches The problem was fixed on April 1st 2020. Workarounds There is no workaround. References This is similar to the following issues in nature: 1. HTTP authentication leak in redirects - I used the same solution as CURL did. 2. CVE-2018-1000007.
