CVE-2026-0865 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Python CPython - HTTP Header Injection
User-controlled header names and values containing newlines can allow injecting HTTP headers.
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-2025-4138 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython Path Traversal via TarFile Extraction Filter Bypass
Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more information. Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from "no filtering" to `"data", so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected. Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious links.

CVE-2025-4435 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
CPython TarFile - Incorrect Extraction with errorlevel=0
When using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior is that any filtered members would be skipped and not extracted. However the actual behavior of TarFile.errorlevel = 0 in affected versions is that the member would still be extracted and not skipped.
CVSS 7.5
CVE-2025-4517 WRITEUP CRITICAL WRITEUP
Python <3.14 - Path Traversal
Allows arbitrary filesystem writes outside the extraction directory during extraction with filter="data". You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the filter= parameter with a value of "data" or "tar". See the tarfile extraction filters documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more information.

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-2026-0865 WRITEUP MEDIUM WRITEUP
Python CPython - HTTP Header Injection
User-controlled header names and values containing newlines can allow injecting HTTP headers.

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().

CVE-2025-13462 WRITEUP LOW WRITEUP
CPython Tarfile Archive Misinterpretation via AREGTYPE Block Normalization
The "tarfile" module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE (\x00) blocks to DIRTYPE, even while processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPE_LONGNAME or GNUTYPE_LONGLINK. This could result in a crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations.
