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)

Changes

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

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.x incompatible with pinned requests 2.28.1

High Severity

Upgrading urllib3 from 1.26.12 to 2.6.3 introduces a compatibility issue with the pinned requests==2.28.1 dependency. The requests library didn't add support for urllib3 2.x until version 2.31.0 or later. When requests 2.28.1 attempts to use urllib3 2.x at runtime, it will fail due to breaking API changes in the major version upgrade. Both requests and urllib3 need to be upgraded together for compatibility.

urllib3 2.x incompatible with Python 3.7 test matrix

High Severity

The urllib3 2.x series dropped support for Python 3.7, requiring Python 3.8 or later. However, the CI workflow in .github/workflows/run_tests.yml includes Python 3.7 in its test matrix. This will cause installation or runtime failures when running tests on Python 3.7.
