<h2>Security</h2>
<ul>
<li>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 <a href="https://github.com/Cycloctane"><code>@βCycloctane</code></a>, 8.9 High, GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37)</li>
<li>Fixed a security issue where an attacker could compose an HTTP response with virtually unlimited links in the <code>Content-Encoding</code> 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 <a href="https://github.com/illia-v"><code>@βillia-v</code></a>, 8.9 High, GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>[!IMPORTANT]</p>
<ul>
<li>If urllib3 is not installed with the optional <code>urllib3[brotli]</code> 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 <code>urllib3[brotli]</code> to install a compatible Brotli package automatically.</li>
