• Max score is 1000. Note that the real score may have changed since the PR was raised.
• This PR was automatically created by Snyk using the credentials of a real user.
• Some vulnerabilities couldn't be fully fixed and so Snyk will still find them when the project is tested again. This may be because the vulnerability existed within more than one direct dependency, but not all of the affected dependencies could be upgraded.

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the requests library from 2.25.1 to 2.32.4 in test_requirements/requirements_39_core.txt. This is a positive step for improving security.

However, there are a few key considerations to ensure the stability and security of the entire project:

1. Testing: After this merge, it is crucial to run a comprehensive suite of tests, particularly for the Python 3.9 environment affected by this specific file change, to verify that the requests library upgrade does not introduce any breaking changes or regressions.

2. Consistency Across Test Environments: The requests library is currently pinned to the older version (2.25.1) in other test requirement files:

   • test_requirements/requirements_310_core.txt
   • test_requirements/requirements_311_core.txt
   • test_requirements/requirements_312_core.txt
     To maintain a consistent security posture, ensure predictable behavior, and simplify dependency management, it is highly recommended to update requests to version 2.32.4 in these files as well. Leaving them on an older version means those test environments might still be exposed to the vulnerabilities Snyk is trying to fix and could lead to tests behaving differently across Python versions.

3. Conda Environment (environment.yml): The environment.yml file lists requests as a general dependency without a pinned version. While Conda will resolve a version, review if this version aligns with 2.32.4 or if explicit pinning in environment.yml (or its pip section) is desired for consistency, especially if this environment is used for development or other CI jobs.

Please address the requests version consistency across all relevant requirement files to fully realize the security benefits of this upgrade and maintain a robust testing framework.

This update to requests==2.32.4 is intended to address security vulnerabilities. It's important to:

1. Run thorough tests for the Python 3.9 environment to confirm this version upgrade doesn't introduce regressions or compatibility issues.
2. Consider applying this version update (requests==2.32.4) consistently across all other requirements*.txt files in the project (e.g., for Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12) to ensure a uniform security posture and dependency set across all test environments. This will help prevent potential vulnerabilities in other environments and avoid divergent behavior.
