An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-28350 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- lxml-html-clean (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.4.4\n- lxml-html-clean (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.4.4\n- lxml-html-clean (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.4.4\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28350/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28350/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-28350","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-28350/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-28350","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-28350","GHSA-xvp8-3mhv-424c","MINI-j77g-phqp-cv3x","PYSEC-2026-2202","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-28350"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python HTML cleaning library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject base tags to hijack relative links in HTML content processed by the default configuration of this Python library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"lxml_html_clean","vendor":"fedoralovespython"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-116","name":"Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output"}],"description":"lxml_html_clean is a project for HTML cleaning functionalities copied from `lxml.html.clean`.
