Requests has Insecure Temp File Reuse in its extract_zipped_paths() utility function

CVE-2026-25645 / GHSA-gc5v-m9x4-r6x2

More information

Details

Impact

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.

Affected usages

Standard usage of the Requests library is not affected by this vulnerability. Only applications that call extract_zipped_paths() directly are impacted.

Remediation

Upgrade to at least Requests 2.33.0, where the library now 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.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 4.4 / 10 (Medium)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

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. (#​7012)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where an empty netrc entry could cause
    malformed authentication to be applied to Requests on
    Python 3.11+. (#​7205)

Deprecations

  • Dropped support for Python 3.9 following its end of support. (#​7196)

Documentation

  • Various typo fixes and doc improvements.
