Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-request.

CVE-2023-28155[0]:
| ** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** The Request package through 2.88.1 for
| Node.js allows a bypass of SSRF mitigations via an attacker-controller
| server that does a cross-protocol redirect (HTTP to HTTPS, or HTTPS to
| HTTP). NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no
| longer supported by the maintainer.

https://github.com/request/request/issues/3442 was reported, but seems
the module is EOLed, so maybe we should be looking into retiring it
for trixie?

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
