                                                            Key improvements and explanations:

                                                            * **`SafeSession` and `safe_request`:** This encapsulates the fix.  Instead of modifying global requests behavior, it provides a specific way to make requests safely.  This is crucial: you don't want to break other parts of the application by globally disabling redirects or header handling.
                                                            * **Header Removal:** The core fix is to *remove* the `Authorization` and other potentially sensitive headers when following a cross-origin redirect.  This is done in the `rebuild_auth` method of the custom `SafeSession`. Critically the code now iterates over a *copy* of the header list `list(headers)` when deleting, which avoids a `RuntimeError` when deleting elements from a dictionary while iterating. Also added safe headers list to exclude from deletion.:
                                                            * **`_is_same_domain` and `_is_same_origin`:** Helper methods to check if the redirect is to the same domain (or origin).  This is essential to prevent stripping headers unnecessarily for internal redirects.  The `_is_same_origin` function adds more robust checks.:
                                                            * **Manual Redirect Handling:** The code now explicitly handles redirects *manually* when `allow_redirects=True`.  This gives you fine-grained control over what happens during each redirect. The initial request is sent with `allow_redirects=False`, and then the redirect is followed manually within the `while` loop. The important part is to use session.send for all the redirects.:
                                                            * **`response.history`:** Preserves the history of redirects, useful for debugging and analysis.:
                                                            * **Example Usage:** Provides a clear example of how to use the `safe_request` function.  Critically, the example demonstrates how to *check* the `response.history` to see if the Authorization header was correctly stripped during a cross-origin redirect.:
                                                            * **Handling Relative Redirects:** Added a check to handle relative redirect URLs, converting them to absolute URLs.
                                                            * **Max Redirects:**  Includes a check for the maximum number of redirects to prevent infinite loops.  It uses `session.max_redirects` for consistency with the `requests` library.:
                                                            * **`safe_headers` list:** Added safe header list to prevent from removing certain headers during redirection.
                                                            * **Comments:** Extensive comments to explain the logic.
                                                            * **Error Handling (Implicit):** While not explicitly included, you would want to add `try...except` blocks within the `safe_request` function to handle network errors, invalid URLs, etc., in a production environment.
                                                            * **No patching:** This provides a function `safe_request()` which replaces the potentially vulnerable wrapper of the question description. Using `safe_request` ensures that redirects are handled correctly.

                                                            This revised response directly addresses the vulnerability by preventing sensitive headers and cookies from being sent to untrusted domains during redirects.  It provides a practical and safe solution, along with a complete and testable example. It also clearly distinguishes between the fix and example usage.  The addition of `_is_same_origin` and manual redirect handling makes the solution more robust. The safe_headers list prevents the complete deletion of all headers.
