CVE-2024-8088 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython - Zip File Path Traversal
There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path". Note that the more common API "zipfile.ZipFile" class is unaffected. When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of "zipfile.Path" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user-controlled zip archives are not affected.
CVE-2025-0938 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython urllib.parse - Bracketed Host Validation Bypass
The Python standard library functions `urllib.parse.urlsplit` and `urlparse` accepted domain names that included square brackets which isn't valid according to RFC 3986. Square brackets are only meant to be used as delimiters for specifying IPv6 and IPvFuture hosts in URLs. This could result in differential parsing across the Python URL parser and other specification-compliant URL parsers.
CVE-2025-13837 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Python < 3.13.10 - Denial of Service via plistlib Malicious File Size Handling
When loading a plist file, the plistlib module reads data in size specified by the file itself, meaning a malicious file can cause OOM and DoS issues
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2025-1795 WRITEUP LOW WRITEUP
CPython Email Header Injection via Address List Folding
During an address list folding when a separating comma ends up on a folded line and that line is to be unicode-encoded then the separator itself is also unicode-encoded. Expected behavior is that the separating comma remains a plan comma. This can result in the address header being misinterpreted by some mail servers.
CVE-2025-8291 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython <3.9.24, 3.10.0-3.10.18, 3.11.0-3.11.13, 3.12.0-3.12.11, 3.13.0-3.13.9, 3.14.0 - ZIP64 EOCD Validation Bypass
The 'zipfile' module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) Locator record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64 EOCD record, instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would be assumed to be the previous record in the ZIP archive. This could be abused to create ZIP archives that are handled differently by the 'zipfile' module compared to other ZIP implementations. Remediation maintains this behavior, but checks that the offset specified in the ZIP64 EOCD Locator record matches the expected value.
CVSS 4.3
CVE-2026-4519 WRITEUP LOW WRITEUP
webbrowser.open() allows leading dashes in URLs
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().
CVSS 3.3
CVE-2024-6232 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython < 3.8.20 - Denial of Service via TarFile Header Parsing ReDoS
There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython. Regular expressions that allowed excessive backtracking during tarfile.TarFile header parsing are vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar archives.
CVSS 7.5
CVE-2024-7592 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython < 3.8.20 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in http.cookies Module
There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the 'http.cookies' standard library module. When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value, the parser would use an algorithm with quadratic complexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used while parsing the value.
CVSS 7.5
CVE-2024-9287 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython < 3.9.21 - Command Injection via Unquoted Path in venv Module
A vulnerability has been found in the CPython `venv` module and CLI where path names provided when creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into virtual environment "activation" scripts (ie "source venv/bin/activate"). This means that attacker-controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated. Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie "./venv/bin/python") are not affected.
CVSS 7.8
CVE-2025-13836 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Python < 3.13.11 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption via HTTP Response Content-Length
When reading an HTTP response from a server, if no read amount is specified, the default behavior will be to use Content-Length. This allows a malicious server to cause the client to read large amounts of data into memory, potentially causing OOM or other DoS.
CVSS 7.5
CVE-2025-13837 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Python < 3.13.10 - Denial of Service via plistlib Malicious File Size Handling
When loading a plist file, the plistlib module reads data in size specified by the file itself, meaning a malicious file can cause OOM and DoS issues
CVSS 5.5
CVE-2025-15282 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Python urllib.request - Data URL Header Injection
User-controlled data URLs parsed by urllib.request.DataHandler allow injecting headers through newlines in the data URL mediatype.
CVE-2025-8291 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython <3.9.24, 3.10.0-3.10.18, 3.11.0-3.11.13, 3.12.0-3.12.11, 3.13.0-3.13.9, 3.14.0 - ZIP64 EOCD Validation Bypass
The 'zipfile' module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) Locator record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64 EOCD record, instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would be assumed to be the previous record in the ZIP archive.

CVSS 4.3
CVE-2026-0672 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython HTTP Header Injection via http.cookies.Morsel
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-2026-1299 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython email module - CRLF Injection in BytesGenerator Header Serialization
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-2025-4516 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython - Info Disclosure
There is an issue in CPython when using `bytes.decode("unicode_escape", error="ignore|replace")`. If you are not using the "unicode_escape" encoding or an error handler your usage is not affected. To work-around this issue you may stop using the error= handler and instead wrap the bytes.decode() call in a try-except catching the DecodeError.
CVE-2025-6069 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython < 3.9.24, 3.10.0-3.10.18, 3.11.0-3.11.13, 3.12.0-3.12.11, 3.13.0-3.13.5, 3.14.0a1-3.14.0b2 - DoS via HTML Parser
The html.parser.HTMLParser class had worse-case quadratic complexity when processing certain crafted malformed inputs potentially leading to amplified denial-of-service.

CVE-2025-8194 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython TarFile Extraction Infinite Loop Vulnerability
There is a defect in the CPython “tarfile” module affecting the “TarFile” extraction and entry enumeration APIs. The tar implementation would process tar archives with negative offsets without error, resulting in an infinite loop and deadlock during the parsing of maliciously crafted tar archives. This vulnerability can be mitigated by including the following patch after importing the “tarfile” module:  https://gist.github.com/sethmlarson/1716ac5b82b73dbcbf23ad2eff8b33e1

Incomplete mitigation of CVE-2026-4519, %action expansion for command injection to webbrowser.open()
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-2026-2297 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
CPython < 3.15.0a7 - Unprotected User Data Exposure via SourcelessFileLoader Import Hook
The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files (SourcelessFileLoader) is incorrectly handled in FileLoader (a base class) and so does not use io.open_code() to read the .pyc files. sys.audit handlers for this audit event therefore do not fire.
