Summary
Using default SSLContext for HTTPS requests in an HTTPS proxy doesn't verify certificate hostname for proxy connection
Details

Impact

Users who are using an HTTPS proxy to issue HTTPS requests and haven't configured their own SSLContext via proxy_config. Only the default SSLContext is impacted.

Patches

urllib3 >=1.26.4 has the issue resolved. urllib3<1.26 is not impacted due to not supporting HTTPS requests via HTTPS proxies.

Workarounds

Upgrading is recommended as this is a minor release and not likely to break current usage.

Configuring an SSLContext with check_hostname=True and passing via proxy_config instead of relying on the default SSLContext
