Description TEJ RATHI 2023-07-05 07:21:54 UTC

A malicious web server can read arbitrary files on the client using a <input type="file" ...> inside HTML form. All users of MechanicalSoup's form submission are affected, unless they took very specific (and manual) steps to reset HTML form field values.
