The Requests package through 2.19.1 before 2018-09-14 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network. (CVE-2018-18074)

We should abandon that old package in favour of a most recent one.

We need to remove the mediafire backend to do so.

Update cryptography
Install latest version of rust on the image (needed for cryptography)

Unfortunately, if not fixed, we might have to remove the mediafire backend... 🤷‍♂️
