Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2026-8ad863685a
2026-05-24 00:50:16.962706+00:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : python-requests
Product     : Fedora 43
Version     : 2.33.1
Release     : 1.fc43
URL         : https://pypi.io/project/requests
Summary     : HTTP library, written in Python, for human beings
Description :
Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely verbose and
cumbersome. Python’s built-in urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP
capabilities you should need, but the API is thoroughly broken. This library is
designed to make HTTP requests easy for developers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

2.33.1 (2026-03-30)
Bugfixes
- Fixed test cleanup for CVE-2026-25645 to avoid leaving unnecessary
  files in the tmp directory.
- Fixed Content-Type header parsing for malformed values.
- Improved error consistency for malformed header values.
2.33.0 (2026-03-25)
Announcements
- 📣 Requests is adding inline types. If you have a typed code base that
uses Requests, please take a look at
#7271.
Give it a try, and report any gaps or feedback you may have in the issue. 📣
Security
- CVE-2026-25645
requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths now extracts
  contents to a non-deterministic location to prevent malicious file
  replacement. This does not affect default usage of Requests, only
  applications calling the utility function directly.
Improvements
- Migrated to a PEP 517 build system using setuptools.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue where an empty netrc entry could cause
  malformed authentication to be applied to Requests on
  Python 3.11+.
Deprecations
- Dropped support for Python 3.9 following its end of support.
Documentation
- Various typo fixes and doc improvements.
