==================

Security

Fixed the following security issues:

  • The TLS configuration for HTTPS proxies could be ignored or overridden.
    (High severity, GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/security/advisories/GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77>__)
  • HTTPResponse.stream() and read_chunked() could buffer a chunk-size
    line of unbounded length in memory. (High severity,
    GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/security/advisories/GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw>__)
  • Chunked Deflate streaming could enter an infinite loop. (Medium severity,
    GHSA-gh4c-6fx4-qh6g <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/security/advisories/GHSA-gh4c-6fx4-qh6g>__)

.. caution::

urllib3 2.8.0 fixes HTTPS proxy TLS configuration being ignored or
overridden by destination settings. Configurations relying on that
behavior may require changes.

Configure proxy CA certificates and client certificates in
``proxy_ssl_context``, and proxy identity checks with
``proxy_assert_hostname`` or ``proxy_assert_fingerprint``.
Destination client certificates and identity overrides no longer
apply to HTTPS forwarding proxy connections.

Deprecations & Removals

  • Deprecated using an empty collection as the Retry option
    allowed_methods to retry any verb.
    (#&#8203;5044 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5044>__)

Features

  • Added Url.auth_decoded and Url.auth_decoded_joined convenience
    properties to the result of parse_url().
    (#&#8203;4945 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/4945>__)
  • Added basic_auth_encoding and proxy_basic_auth_encoding parameters to
    urllib3.util.make_headers().
    (#&#8203;5092 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5092>__)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed response header handling to replace obsolete folded header lines
    (obs-fold) with spaces in accordance with RFC 9112, preventing raw CRLF
    sequences from appearing in header values such as Set-Cookie.
    (#&#8203;1362 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/1362>__)

  • Fixed usage of proxy_ssl_context with ProxyManager when
    use_forwarding_for_https=True. Passing ssl_context instead of
    proxy_ssl_context for HTTPS proxies in this configuration now emits a
    FutureWarning and will raise an error in v3.0.
    (#&#8203;2577 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/2577>__)

  • Changed behavior of the default ConnectionPool.pool initialization.
    LifoQueue is now resolved from the queue module after the
    ConnectionPool is instantiated instead of using the default cached
    QueueCls class property. This is done because sometimes the
    queue.LifoQueue is monkey-patched late in the program, such as by gevent.
    (#&#8203;3289 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3289>__)

  • Raised UnrewindableBodyError instead of ValueError when retrying a
    request whose body had tell() but not seek().
    (#&#8203;3779 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3779>__)

  • Decoded percent-encoded SOCKS proxy credentials before authenticating with
    the proxy server.
    (#&#8203;3785 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3785>__)

  • Fixed HTTPResponse.drain_conn() to discard unread response data in 64 KiB
    chunks (same as the default amt when doing HTTPResponse.stream(...)).
    (#&#8203;5019 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5019>__)

  • Fixed is_ipaddress() to detect non-standard IPv4 forms accepted by
    socket.connect, such as hex (0x7f000001), octal (0177.0.0.1), and
    decimal integers (2130706433), ensuring SSL certificate verification uses
    the correct mode for these addresses.
    (#&#8203;5029 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5029>__)

  • Fixed HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen raising a misleading FullPoolError
    instead of ValueError when called with an invalid timeout argument on
    a pool created with block=True.
    (#&#8203;5059 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5059>__)

  • Fixed port-zero handling to preserve explicit :0 values instead of
    substituting the default ports 80 or 443 in URL parsing, pool selection,
    proxy configuration, connection_from_url(), and HTTP/2 request authority.
    (#&#8203;5071 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5071>,
    #&#8203;5101 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5101>
    )

  • Fixed a bug where PoolManager passed the assert_hostname and
    assert_fingerprint parameters to HTTP connection pools.
    (#&#8203;5077 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5077>__)

  • Fixed HTTPConnectionPool.urlopen() and HTTP proxy forwarding to strip URL
    fragments from absolute request targets before sending requests.
    (#&#8203;5079 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5079>__)

  • Added safeguards to the proxy tunneling code to prevent potential security
    issues when handling invalid characters in the proxy host and HTTP headers.
    This change affects users of Python 3.10, Python 3.11, and Python 3.12 when
    the standard library does not contain the fix; those on newer Python versions
    should upgrade to 3.13.14+ or 3.14.5+ to get the same security fixes.
    (#&#8203;5091 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5091>__)

  • Fixed HTTPSConnection.connect() overriding ProxyConfig.ssl_context's
    certificate policy and proxy identity checks with the target connection's TLS
    settings when forwarding through an HTTPS proxy.

    HTTPSConnection no longer applies target SNI, assertions, or client
    credentials to forwarding proxy handshakes and continues to use its
    ssl_context as a fallback when an HTTPS proxy forwards an HTTP target.
    (#&#8203;5093 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5093>__)

  • Fixed URL parsing to more strictly enforce RFC 3986 host syntax, rejecting
    invalid host input such as raw spaces and control characters, malformed
    percent-encodings, and percent-encoded control characters in HTTP(S) hosts
    and IPv6 zone identifiers, including proxy CONNECT tunnel targets. Host
    normalization now also follows RFC 3986 normalization rules for
    percent-encoded octets by decoding percent-encoded unreserved characters and
    uppercasing the hexadecimal digits of retained percent-encoded octets.
    (#&#8203;5095 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5095>__)

  • Fixed an AttributeError on Python built with OpenSSL 4+, where
    ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1 no longer exists.
    (#&#8203;5097 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5097>__)

  • Fixed urllib3.contrib.pyopenssl to use cryptography APIs when reading a
    certificate subject and loading encrypted private keys, avoiding
    DeprecationWarning raised by pyOpenSSL 26.3.0+.
    (#&#8203;5103 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5103>__)

  • Fixed handling of HTTP 303 redirects for requests with chunked or file-like
    bodies.
    (#&#8203;5161 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5161>__)

  • Fixed assert_fingerprint() to raise SSLError instead of
    binascii.Error when a fingerprint has a supported length but contains
    non-hexadecimal characters.
    (#&#8203;5211 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5211>__)

Misc

  • Added a test dependency group containing the minimum dependencies needed
    to run the test suite, intended for downstream packagers. The dev-base
    and mypy groups now include this new group via include-group,
    removing duplication.
    (#&#8203;3594 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/3594>__)
  • Fixed test failures with pytest >= 9.1.
    (#&#8203;5094 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5094>__)
  • Enabled JSPI tests with Firefox in the Emscripten test suite.
    (#&#8203;5166 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5166>__)
  • Improved streamed response decoding performance.
    (#&#8203;5209 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5209>__)
  • Fixed flaky tests.
    (#&#8203;5232 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5232>,
    #&#8203;5234 <https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/5234>

LGTM, straightforward dependency version bump.

What was reviewed: confirmed the diff is limited to a single-line urllib3 pin bump (2.7.0 -> 2.8.0) in both requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt, within the pip-compile generated lock block; no source code, tests, or config logic changed. The bump is a security patch release (fixes several urllib3 CVEs) with no breaking API changes relevant to this package's usage.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches only requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt, bumping the pinned urllib3 version from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0. Verified via git diff that this is exactly a two-line change (one per file), both within pip-compile generated lock blocks that also enumerate dependents (requests, types-requests, pyUSPTO). No application code, tests, or documentation are modified.

Security risks

None introduced by this change. urllib3 2.8.0 is itself a security-fix release (addresses HTTPS proxy TLS configuration issues and unbounded memory buffering in chunked responses per the PR description), so this bump is a net security improvement rather than a risk. There is no code path in this repo affected beyond the pinned version string.

Level of scrutiny

This warrants minimal scrutiny: it is a mechanical, bot-generated (Renovate) lockfile update with no logic changes, no new dependencies, and no ambiguity in intent. Standard practice for automated dependency PRs of this nature.

Other factors

No CODEOWNERS restriction applies, no prior reviewer comments are outstanding, and the change is trivially reversible if it ever caused an issue. Confidence is high that no human review is needed here.
