build(deps): update dependency requests to v2.33.0 [security] (hotfix/2.20)
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged after tests, linters, and security scans failed; the same requests 2.33.0 security update was merged to main via #1516 (3d099307).
Resolution: closed superseded
Reason: The hotfix update was not merged because CI and security checks failed. An equivalent requests 2.33.0 update addressing CVE-2026-25645 landed on main through PR #1516 at commit 3d099307, though no hotfix/2.20 commit was recorded.

### GitHub Vulnerability Alerts
#### [CVE-2026-25645](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/security/advisories/GHSA-gc5v-m9x4-r6x2)
### Impact
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.

<summary>psf/requests (requests)</summary>
### [`v2.33.0`](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/blob/HEAD/HISTORY.md#2330-2026-03-25)
[Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/compare/v2.32.5...v2.33.0)
**Announcements**
- 📣 Requests is adding inline types. If you have a typed code base that
uses Requests, please take a look at [#​7271](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/issues/7271). Give it a try, and report
any gaps or feedback you may have in the issue. 📣
**Security**
- CVE-2026-25645 `requests.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](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/issues/7012))
**Bugfixes**
- Fixed an issue where an empty netrc entry could cause
malformed authentication to be applied to Requests on
Python 3.11+. ([#​7205](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/issues/7205))
**Deprecations**
- Dropped support for Python 3.9 following its end of support. ([#​7196](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/issues/7196))
**Documentation**
- Various typo fixes and doc improvements.
### [`v2.32.5`](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/blob/HEAD/HISTORY.md#2325-2025-08-18)
[Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/psf/requests/compare/v2.32.4...v2.32.5)
**Bugfixes**
- The SSLContext caching feature originally introduced in 2.32.0 has created
a new class of issues in Requests that have had negative impact across a number
of use cases. The Requests team has decided to revert this feature as long term
maintenance of it is proving to be unsustainable in its current iteration.
**Deprecations**
- Added support for Python 3.14.
- Dropped support for Python 3.8 following its end of support.
