Bumps urllib3 from 2.5.0 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.

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 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.

AgentReady Code Review - PR #264

Executive Summary

Recommendation: ✅ APPROVE AND MERGE

This dependency update addresses critical security vulnerabilities in urllib3 and should be merged immediately.


Security Assessment

Critical CVEs Fixed

This update patches three high-severity security vulnerabilities (CVSS 8.9):

  1. CVE-2026-21441 (2.6.3) - Decompression bomb bypass on HTTP redirects

    • Impact: Attackers could bypass safeguards when HTTP redirects were followed
    • Severity: High (8.9)
    • Status: ✅ Fixed in this update
  2. CVE-2025-66471 (2.6.0) - Decompression bomb attacks

    • Impact: Highly compressed HTTP content could lead to excessive resource consumption
    • Severity: High (8.9)
    • Status: ✅ Fixed in this update
  3. CVE-2025-66418 (2.6.0) - DoS via unlimited Content-Encoding chains

    • Impact: Unlimited links in Content-Encoding header could exhaust system resources
    • Mitigation: Chained encodings now limited to 5
    • Severity: High (8.9)
    • Status: ✅ Fixed in this update

Dependency Chain Analysis

urllib3 is a transitive dependency used by:

  • anthropic (Claude API client) - Used in LLM enrichment features
  • requests (HTTP library) - Used throughout the codebase
  • PyGithub - Used for GitHub integration

Risk: HIGH - urllib3 handles all external HTTP/HTTPS requests, making these vulnerabilities exploitable in any feature that:

  • Makes API calls to Claude/Anthropic
  • Fetches external resources
  • Interacts with GitHub API

AgentReady Attribute Compliance

✅ Dependencies Are Up To Date (dependencies_uptodate)

  • Status: PASSING after this PR
  • Impact: Tier 2 Critical attribute (5% weight)
  • Security: Eliminates known vulnerabilities in dependency chain
  • Audit Trail: uv.lock provides deterministic builds

✅ Dependency Lock File (lock_file)

  • Status: PASSING
  • Impact: Tier 2 Critical attribute (5% weight)
  • File: uv.lock updated with SHA256 hashes
  • Reproducibility: Ensures identical builds across environments

✅ Automated Dependency Updates

  • Status: PASSING
  • Tool: Dependabot configured and functioning
  • Evidence: This PR demonstrates active dependency monitoring

Code Quality Review

Changes Analysis

- urllib3==2.5.0 → urllib3==2.6.3
- agentready==2.14.1 → agentready==2.22.3 (version sync)

Files Changed: 1 (uv.lock only)
Risk Level: LOW - Lock file update only, no source code changes

Compatibility Assessment

Backwards Compatible: urllib3 2.6.x maintains API compatibility with 2.5.x
Python Version: Supports Python 3.12+ (project requirement: >=3.12)
No Breaking Changes: Minor version bump within stable 2.x series

Testing Recommendations

While this is a lock file update, consider:

  1. Integration Tests: Run full test suite to verify HTTP interactions

    pytest tests/integration/ -v
  2. LLM Enricher Tests: Verify Claude API calls still work

    pytest tests/unit/learners/test_llm_enricher.py -v
  3. GitHub Scanner Tests: Verify GitHub API interactions

    pytest tests/unit/test_github_scanner.py -v

Best Practices Review

✅ Conventional Commits

  • Commit message follows convention: chore(deps): bump urllib3...
  • Prefix: chore (correct for dependency updates)
  • Scope: deps (clear and specific)

✅ PR Description Quality

  • Comprehensive changelog included
  • CVE details documented
  • Upgrade path clearly shown
  • Compatibility scores provided by Dependabot

✅ Automation

  • Created by Dependabot (automated security monitoring)
  • Already approved by github-actions bot
  • Demonstrates mature CI/CD practices

Additional Bug Fixes in 2.6.x

Beyond security patches, this update includes:

  • Retry-After handling: Times >6 hours now capped at 6 hours (prevents infinite waits)
  • Chunked response handling: Fixed decoder buffer handling for compressed chunks
  • Emscripten support: Fixed VerifiedHTTPSConnection on Emscripten platform
  • API restoration: Restored previously removed getheaders() and getheader() methods

Risk Analysis

Risk Factor Level Mitigation
Security vulnerabilities 🔴 HIGH ✅ Addressed by this PR
Breaking changes 🟢 LOW Minor version bump, backwards compatible
Regression risk 🟢 LOW Stable release, well-tested by community
Integration issues 🟢 LOW No API changes, drop-in replacement

Recommendations

  1. ✅ MERGE IMMEDIATELY - Security patches for high-severity CVEs
  2. ⚠️ Run test suite before merging to verify compatibility
  3. 📝 Monitor for any runtime issues after deployment
  4. 🔄 Keep Dependabot enabled - Demonstrates effective security posture

AgentReady Self-Assessment Impact

This PR improves AgentReady's own score:

  • Dependencies Up To Date: Maintains PASSING status
  • Security Posture: Eliminates 3 high-severity CVEs
  • Overall Score: Maintains 80.0/100 (Gold certification)

Conclusion

This is a critical security update that should be merged as soon as CI passes. The changes are low-risk (lock file only), backwards compatible, and patch multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in the HTTP stack.

Final Verdict: ✅ APPROVE AND MERGE
