Bumps urllib3 from 1.22 to 2.6.3.

Release notes

Sourced from urllib3's releases.

2.6.3

🚀 urllib3 is fundraising for HTTP/2 support

urllib3 is raising ~$40,000 USD to release HTTP/2 support and ensure long-term sustainable maintenance of the project after a sharp decline in financial support. If your company or organization uses Python and would benefit from HTTP/2 support in Requests, pip, cloud SDKs, and thousands of other projects please consider contributing financially to ensure HTTP/2 support is developed sustainably and maintained for the long-haul.

Thank you for your support.

Changes

• Fixed a security issue where decompression-bomb safeguards of the streaming API were bypassed when HTTP redirects were followed. (CVE-2026-21441 reported by @​D47A, 8.9 High, GHSA-38jv-5279-wg99)
• Started treating Retry-After times greater than 6 hours as 6 hours by default. (urllib3/urllib3#3743)
• Fixed urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection on Emscripten. (urllib3/urllib3#3752)

2.6.2

Thank you for your support.

Changes

• Fixed HTTPResponse.read_chunked() to properly handle leftover data in the decoder's buffer when reading compressed chunked responses. (urllib3/urllib3#3734)

Thank you for your support.

Security

• Fixed a security issue where streaming API could improperly handle highly compressed HTTP content ("decompression bombs") leading to excessive resource consumption even when a small amount of data was requested. Reading small chunks of compressed data is safer and much more efficient now. (CVE-2025-66471 reported by @​Cycloctane, 8.9 High, GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37)
• Fixed a security issue where an attacker could compose an HTTP response with virtually unlimited links in the Content-Encoding header, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) attack by exhausting system resources during decoding. The number of allowed chained encodings is now limited to 5. (CVE-2025-66418 reported by @​illia-v, 8.9 High, GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53)

[!IMPORTANT]

• If urllib3 is not installed with the optional urllib3[brotli] extra, but your environment contains a Brotli/brotlicffi/brotlipy package anyway, make sure to upgrade it to at least Brotli 1.2.0 or brotlicffi 1.2.0.0 to benefit from the security fixes and avoid warnings. Prefer using urllib3[brotli] to install a compatible Brotli package automatically.

urllib3 2.6.3 requires Python 3.9+, breaks declared compatibility

High Severity

The upgraded urllib3 version 2.6.3 requires Python 3.9+ (as indicated by the markers field), but the project's setup.py declares support for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. The previous lock file also showed development was done on Python 3.6.4. This dependency upgrade will cause installation failures or runtime errors for anyone using a Python version below 3.9, which includes all versions the project officially supports.

 

[cursor]

requests 2.18.4 incompatible with urllib3 2.x APIs

High Severity

The requests library version 2.18.4 in the lock file is incompatible with urllib3 2.x. The urllib3 2.0 release introduced significant breaking API changes that older versions of requests depend on. Even on Python 3.9+, attempting to use requests 2.18.4 with urllib3 2.6.3 will result in import errors or attribute errors at runtime due to removed or renamed modules and methods. The requests library needs to be upgraded to at least version 2.31.0+ to work with urllib3 2.x.
