As of 5 Nov 2026, the latest release of urllib3 on PyPI is 2.8.0. No published advisory (OSV) matches 2.8.0; 22 more affect older versions only. No field reports on 2.8.0 yet.

Clear means no known pattern or advisory matched, not that a tool is safe. Advisories are matched to one exact version. An advisory can only be matched once it is published, and field reports need 5 people, at least 2 verified, before a version gets a Forge Score ([methodology](https://theagentforge.io/methodology)). ## Published advisories (OSV) | Advisory | Kind | Matches 2.8.0 | Fixed in | Published | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GHSA-q2q7-5pp4-w6pg](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q2q7-5pp4-w6pg) CVE-2021-33503, PYSEC-2021-108 | vulnerability | no | 1.26.5, 2d4a3fee6de2fa45eb82169361918f759269b4ec | 2021-06-01 | | [GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-vxq7-64xx-v4gw) CVE-2026-97689, PYSEC-2026-4177 | vulnerability | no | 2.8.0 | 2026-09-30 | | [GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-8988-9cw3-xx77) CVE-2026-97687, PYSEC-2026-4175 | vulnerability | no | 2.8.0 | 2026-09-30 | | [GHSA-gh4c-6fx4-qh6g](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-gh4c-6fx4-qh6g) CVE-2026-97688, PYSEC-2026-4176 | vulnerability | no | 2.8.0 | 2026-09-30 | | [GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37) CVE-2025-66471, PYSEC-2026-1994 | vulnerability | no | 2.6.0 | 2025-12-05 | | [GHSA-mf9v-mfxr-j63j](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mf9v-mfxr-j63j) CVE-2026-44432, PYSEC-2026-142 | vulnerability | no | 2.7.0 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53) CVE-2025-66418, PYSEC-2026-1998 | vulnerability | no | 2.6.0 | 2025-12-05 | | [GHSA-qccp-gfcp-xxvc](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-qccp-gfcp-xxvc) CVE-2026-44431, PYSEC-2026-141 | vulnerability | no | 2.7.0 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-38jv-5279-wg99](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-38jv-5279-wg99) CVE-2026-21441, PYSEC-2026-1996 | vulnerability | no | 2.6.3 | 2026-01-07 | | [GHSA-pq67-6m6q-mj2v](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-pq67-6m6q-mj2v) CVE-2025-50181, PYSEC-2026-1999 | vulnerability | no | 2.5.0 | 2025-06-18 | | [GHSA-48p4-8xcf-vxj5](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-48p4-8xcf-vxj5) CVE-2025-50182, PYSEC-2026-1997 | vulnerability | no | 2.5.0 | 2025-06-18 | | [GHSA-34jh-p97f-mpxf](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-34jh-p97f-mpxf) CVE-2024-37891, PYSEC-2026-1995 | vulnerability | no | 1.26.19, 2.2.2 | 2024-06-17 | | [GHSA-g4mx-q9vg-27p4](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-g4mx-q9vg-27p4) CVE-2023-45803, PYSEC-2023-212 | vulnerability | no | 2.0.7, 1.26.18, 4e98d57809dacab1cbe625fddeec1a290c478ea9 | 2023-10-17 | | [GHSA-v845-jxx5-vc9f](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-v845-jxx5-vc9f) CVE-2023-43804, PYSEC-2023-192 | vulnerability | no | 2.0.6, 1.26.17, 644124ecd0b6e417c527191f866daa05a5a2056d, 01220354d389cd05474713f8c982d05c9b17aafb | 2023-10-02 | | [GHSA-5phf-pp7p-vc2r](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5phf-pp7p-vc2r) CVE-2021-28363, PYSEC-2021-59 | vulnerability | no | 1.26.4, 8d65ea1ecf6e2cdc27d42124e587c1b83a3118b0 | 2021-03-19 | | [GHSA-gwvm-45gx-3cf8](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-gwvm-45gx-3cf8) CVE-2018-25091, PYSEC-2023-207 | vulnerability | no | 1.24.2, adb358f8e06865406d1f05e581a16cbea2136fbc | 2023-10-15 | | [GHSA-v4w5-p2hg-8fh6](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-v4w5-p2hg-8fh6) CVE-2016-9015, PYSEC-2017-98 | vulnerability | no | 1.18.1 | 2022-05-17 | | [GHSA-www2-v7xj-xrc6](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-www2-v7xj-xrc6) CVE-2018-20060, PYSEC-2018-32 | vulnerability | no | 1.23 | 2018-12-12 | | [GHSA-r64q-w8jr-g9qp](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-r64q-w8jr-g9qp) CVE-2019-11236, PYSEC-2019-132 | vulnerability | no | 1.24.3 | 2022-05-13 | | [GHSA-wqvq-5m8c-6g24](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-wqvq-5m8c-6g24) CVE-2020-26137, PYSEC-2020-148 | vulnerability | no | 1.25.9, 1dd69c5c5982fae7c87a620d487c2ebf7a6b436b | 2021-06-18 | | [GHSA-hmv2-79q8-fv6g](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-hmv2-79q8-fv6g) CVE-2020-7212, PYSEC-2020-149 | vulnerability | no | 1.25.8, a74c9cfbaed9f811e7563cfc3dce894928e0221a | 2021-04-30 | | [GHSA-mh33-7rrq-662w](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mh33-7rrq-662w) CVE-2019-11324, PYSEC-2019-133 | vulnerability | no | 1.24.2 | 2019-04-19 | Data from OSV (osv.dev), which serves the GitHub and PyPI advisory databases and the OpenSSF malicious-package records; checked 5 Nov 2026. ## Field reports on the Forge No field reports on 2.8.0 yet.
