The change is confined to dependency version pins in `requirements.in` files and does not modify any code logic, deployment manifests, build scripts, or configuration files referenced in the workflows. No new steps are added, no components are modified or removed, and no interactions or sequences in the documented workflow designs are altered. The workflows.json defines high-level processes for development, deployment, and release, none of which are structurally impacted by this internal dependency update. + +Although the updated library improves security in service images built during workflows like Local Development (Workflow 1) and GKE Deployment (Workflow 2), this is an enhancement to runtime behavior rather than a design change requiring diagram updates. + +## General Summary of PR Changes +This PR, generated by Mend Renovate, updates the `requests` dependency from `2.31.0` to `2.32.4` to remediate two security vulnerabilities: + +- **[CVE-2024-35195](https://github.com/psf/requests/security/advisories/GHSA-9wx4-h78v-vm56)**: Fixed persistent SSL certificate verification bypass in Requests Sessions. +- **[CVE-2024-47081](https://github.com/psf/requests/security/advisories/GHSA-9hjg-9r4m-mvj7)**: Fixed .netrc credential leakage due to URL parsing issues with malicious URLs. + +### Changed Files +- `src/emailservice/requirements.in`: Updated `requests==2.31.0` to `requests==2.32.4`. +- `src/recommendationservice/requirements.in`: Updated `requests==2.31.0` to `requests==2.32.4`. + +### Impact on Project +- **Security Benefits**: Mitigates risks in HTTP client operations, particularly if `requests` is used transitively by dependencies (e.g., Google Cloud libraries, OpenTelemetry). No direct `import requests` found in project code, suggesting transitive usage. +- **Other Changes in v2.32.x**: Includes bug fixes (e.g., SSLContext support, length detection for emojis), performance improvements (global SSLContext reuse), and dropped support for outdated Python versions (e.g., 3.7). Added support for newer PyPy versions. +- **No Breaking Changes**: Compatible with existing code; recommended upgrade per security advisories. +- **Workflow Implications**: After merge, new Docker images for these services will include the secure version. Developers should regenerate `requirements.txt` (via `pip-compile` or similar) and rebuild images in affected workflows. No immediate action needed for existing deployments unless vulnerable configurations (e.g., `verify=False` or `.netrc` usage) are present. +- **Reference**: [PR #3003](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/pull/3003) + +No updates to `.exp` design documents or Mermaid diagrams are necessary, as the PR does not alter documented workflow designs. \ No newline at end of file
