The requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths() utility function uses a predictable filename when extracting files from zip archives into the system temporary directory. If the target file already exists, it is reused without validation. A local attacker with write access to the temp directory could pre-create a malicious file that would be loaded in place of the legitimate one.
Affected usages
Standard usage of the Requests library is not affected by this vulnerability. Only applications that call extract_zipped_paths() directly are impacted.
Remediation
Upgrade to at least Requests 2.33.0, where the library now extracts files to a non-deterministic location.
If developers are unable to upgrade, they can set TMPDIR in their environment to a directory with restricted write access.
📣 Requests is adding inline types. If you have a typed code base that
uses Requests, please take a look at #7271. Give it a try, and report
any gaps or feedback you may have in the issue. 📣
Security
CVE-2026-25645requests.utils.extract_zipped_paths now extracts
contents to a non-deterministic location to prevent malicious file
replacement. This does not affect default usage of Requests, only
applications calling the utility function directly.
Improvements
Migrated to a PEP 517 build system using setuptools. (#7012)
Bugfixes
Fixed an issue where an empty netrc entry could cause
malformed authentication to be applied to Requests on
Python 3.11+. (#7205)
Deprecations
Dropped support for Python 3.9 following its end of support. (#7196)
Documentation
Various typo fixes and doc improvements.
