{"id":"AZL-80996","summary":"CVE-2026-25645 affecting package python-requests for versions less than 2.31.0-4","details":"Requests is a HTTP library. Prior to version 2.33.0, the `requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths()` utility function uses a predictable filename when extracting files from zip archives into the system temporary directory. If the target file already exists, it is reused without validation. A local attacker with write access to the temp directory could pre-create a malicious file that would be loaded in place of the legitimate one. Standard usage of the Requests library is not affected by this vulnerability. Only applications that call `extract_zipped_paths()` directly are impacted. Starting in version 2.33.0, the library extracts files to a non-deterministic location. If developers are unable to upgrade, they can set `TMPDIR` in their environment to a directory with restricted write access.","modified":"2026-08-31T05:26:27Z","published":"2026-03-25T17:16:52Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-25645"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-25645"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-requests","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/python-requests"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.31.0-4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-80996.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
