CVE-2026-1502alpinepython3+30
EPSS score0.56%
CR/LF bytes were not rejected by HTTP client proxy tunnel headers or host.CVE-2026-1299chainguardpython-3.10+82EPSS score0.57%
The
email module, specifically the "BytesGenerator" class, didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when
serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email
is serialized. This is only applicable if using "LiteralHeader" writing headers that don't respect email folding rules, the new behavior will reject the incorrectly folded headers in "BytesGenerator".CVE-2026-19553alpinepython3+63EPSS score0.40%
ssl.SSLContext.wrap_bio() didn't require the server_hostname argument
to not be None if ssl.SSLContext.check_hostname was set. Due to a
missing parameter check in SSLObject, if the server_hostname argument
isn't supplied then hostname verification would be silently skipped.
This defect could lead to programs where certificate hostname verification
*appeared* to be succeeding with SSLContext.check_hostname = True and no
ValueError being raised due to misconfiguration.
If the program passes a server_hostname value that isn't an empty string
or None to any of these APIs then certificate hostname verification
proceeds as expected and the program is not affected by this vulnerability.
Mitigating this vulnerability doesn't require updating Python or applying
the patch. To mitigate, pass a valid non-None and non-empty
server_hostname value to SSLContext.wrap_bio(),
asyncio.create_connection(), or asyncio.loop.start_tls() and
certificate hostname verification will proceed as expected. Upgrading to
the latest version of Python or applying the patch only changes the
behavior from silently skipping hostname verification to raising a
ValueError, similar to SSLContext.wrap_socket(), when server_hostname
isn't supplied.CVE-2026-19672alpinepython3+25EPSS score0.47%
The tarfile module's tar and data
extraction filters created directories outside the destination for
members whose name leaves the destination and returns to it, such as ../evil/../dest/sub/file. The containment check used the resolved path, but intermediate directories were created from the name as given.
Only
empty directories are created outside the destination. Member contents
are still extracted inside it. To return to the destination the member's
name must contain the destination directory's own final component, so
extraction into a secure randomised directory is not affected.
This affects POSIX platforms only. On Windows, .. components are collapsed before the path reaches the filesystem, so the directories outside the destination are never created.CVE-2026-19445alpinepython3+31EPSS score0.43%
A remote, unauthenticated TLS client can make a server crash or call
through a freed pointer if its sni_callback assigns a different context to
SSLSocket.context (the documented way to select a certificate per server
name) and nothing else keeps the original ssl.SSLContext alive. Typical
cases are servers that create an SSLContext per connection or replace it
while connections are open; servers that wrap their listening socket with
it are not affected.
Mitigation: keep a reference to every SSLContext that sets sni_callback for
the lifetime of the server. TLS clients are not affected.CVE-2026-11940alpinepython3+72EPSS score0.75%
tarfile.extractall() with the 'data' or 'tar'
filter could be bypassed by a crafted archive where a hardlink
references a symlink stored at a deeper name than the hardlink itself.
The extraction fallback validated the symlink at it's archived location
but recreated it at the hardlink's shallower
path, letting a relative
target the filter judged contained escape the destination directory.
This allowed a malicious tar archive to create a symlink pointing
outside the destination, enabling out-of-destination file reads or
writes. This was an incomplete fix of CVE-2025-4330.CVE-2026-11972alpinepython3+64EPSS score0.71%
When using the "tarfile" module with a file opened in "streaming mode" (mode="r|") the tarfile module did not properly handle EOF, making archive parsing take exponentially longer.CVE-2026-0865chainguardpython-3.10+57EPSS score0.55%
User-controlled header names and values containing newlines can allow injecting HTTP headers.CVE-2026-0672chainguardpython-3.10+28EPSS score0.48%
When using http.cookies.Morsel, user-controlled cookie values and parameters can allow injecting HTTP headers into messages. Patch rejects all control characters within cookie names, values, and parameters.CVE-2026-0864alpinepython3+28EPSS score0.13%
When using the "configparser" module to write configuration files
containing multi-line text values with carriage return characters (\r) the
resulting file could be injected with unexpected keys and values if the
attacker controls the written value.CVE-2026-9669alpinepython3+26EPSS score0.43%
bz2.BZ2Decompressor objects could be reused after a decompression error. If an application caught the resulting OSError and retried with the same decompressor, crafted input could cause the decompressor to resume from an invalid internal state and perform out-of-bounds writes to a stack buffer. This could crash the process when processing untrusted data.CVE-2026-4786alpinepython3+45EPSS score0.48%
Mitgation of CVE-2026-4519 was incomplete. If the URL contained "%action" the mitigation could be bypassed for certain browser types the "webbrowser.open()" API could have commands injected into the underlying shell. See CVE-2026-4519 for details.CVE-2026-4519alpinepython3+76EPSS score0.41%
The webbrowser.open() API would accept leading dashes in the URL which
could be handled as command line options for certain web browsers. New
behavior rejects leading dashes. Users are recommended to sanitize URLs
prior to passing to webbrowser.open().CVE-2026-4224alpinepython3+29EPSS score0.70%
When an Expat parser with a registered ElementDeclHandler parses an inline
document type definition containing a deeply nested content model a C stack
overflow occurs.CVE-2026-4360alpinepython3+65EPSS score0.48%
In the Tarfile.extract() function, the filter parameter is not passed properly when extracting hardlinks. An affected system that extracts content from untrusted tar files could end up writing files with an unexpected uid/gid despite the user passing filter='data' to the extract() function.CVE-2026-17084alpinepython3+34EPSS score0.73%
The "stringprep" module didn't process characters from RFC 3454 tables
B.2 or B.3 correctly: the latest Unicode codepoint attributes were used
instead of the specified Unicode 3.2.0. This behavior would cause
mismatches when processing domain names using IDNA 2003 (the "idna"
codec) and the in_table_b2() function of the "stringprep" module. This
only affects domain names containing characters that were not previously
registered or had their Unicode attributes such as case-folding
behavior updated since Unicode 3.2.0.CVE-2026-7210alpinepython3+34EPSS score0.67%
`xml.parsers.expat` and `xml.etree.ElementTree` use insufficient entropy for Expat hash-flooding protection, which allows a crafted XML document to trigger hash flooding.\r\n\r\nFully mitigating this vulnerability requires both updating libexpat to 2.8.0 or later and applying this patch.CVE-2026-7774alpinepython3+26EPSS score0.78%
tarfile.data_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries, including symlinks with empty or directory-like names, to redirect later archive members outside the intended extraction directory. This allowed a malicious tar archive to cause tarfile.extractall() to write files outside the destination directory, subject to the permissions of the extracting process.CVE-2026-18503chainguardpython-3.10+29EPSS score0.12%
Attacker-controlled CSV samples can trigger super-linear
regular-expression work during dialect sniffing and consume significant
CPU when applications pass unbounded input to csv.Sniffer.sniff().CVE-2026-5271python software foundationpymanager+1EPSS score0.19%
pymanager included the current working directory in sys.path meaning modules could be shadowed by modules in the current working directory. As a result, if a user executes a pymanager-generated command (e.g., pip, pytest)
from an attacker-controlled directory, a malicious module in that
directory can be imported and executed instead of the intended package.
