On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the
release of Twisted 19.2.1!
This is a security release, and contains the following changes:
- All HTTP clients in twisted.web.client now raise a ValueError when
called with a method and/or URL that contain invalid characters. This
mitigates CVE-2019-12387. Thanks to Alex Brasetvik for reporting this
vulnerability.
It is recommended you update to this release as soon as is practical.
Additional mitigation may be required if Twisted is not your only HTTP
client library:
- This bug is present in all current versions of urllib2 in CPython.
More information can be found on the Python bug tracker:
https://bugs.python.org/issue30458
- This bug was present in urllib3 up until version 1.24.3. More
information can be found on the urllib3 bug tracker:
https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/issues/1553
You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or
