Mitigating Certifi and urllib3 Vulnerabilities

This article describes how to mitigate the disclosed Certifi and urllib3 third-party library vulnerabilities: 1. Certifi 2023.07.22 removes root certificates from "e-Tugra" from the root store. (CVE-2023-37920). 2. Any version prior to 1.23 of urllib3  does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext (CVE-2018-20060).
