Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Guzzle is an open source PHP HTTP client. In affected versions the `Cookie` headers on requests are sensitive information. On making a request using the `https` scheme to a server which responds with a redirect to a URI with the `http` scheme, or on making a request to a server which responds with a redirect to a a URI to a different host, we should not forward the `Cookie` header on. Prior to this fix, only cookies that were managed by our cookie middleware would be safely removed, and any `Cookie` header manually added to the initial request would not be stripped. We now always strip it, and allow the cookie middleware to re-add any cookies that it deems should be there. Affected Guzzle 7 users should upgrade to Guzzle 7.4.4 as soon as possible. Affected users using any earlier series of Guzzle should upgrade to Guzzle 6.5.7 or 7.4.4. Users unable to upgrade may consider an alternative approach to use your own redirect middleware, rather than ours. If you do not require or expect redirects to be followed, one should simply disable redirects all together.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-200

The application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

Recommended fix High confidence

Guzzle 7.4.4 (for Guzzle 7.x users) or Guzzle 6.5.7 (for Guzzle 6.x users)

  1. Identify the Guzzle version currently in use by checking your composer.lock file or running `composer show guzzlehttp/guzzle`
  2. If using Guzzle 7.x, update composer.json to require `"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^7.4.4"`
  3. If using Guzzle 6.x, update composer.json to require `"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.5.7"`
  4. Run `composer update guzzlehttp/guzzle` to install the fixed version
  5. Verify the correct version is installed by running `composer show guzzlehttp/guzzle`
  6. Run your application's test suite to confirm the upgrade does not break existing functionality
  7. If using Drupal, ensure Drupal core is also updated to a patched version (9.2.21, 9.3.16, or 9.4.1+) which includes the fixed Guzzle dependency
