A flaw was found in Mistune, a Python Markdown parser. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass URL protections by using specially crafted Markdown links or images containing percent-encoded javascript URIs. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary scripts in the rendered HTML, potentially compromising the user's system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-08 17:01:42 UTC
Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.3.0, HTMLRenderer.safe_url() does not block percent-encoded javascript URIs, allowing attacker-supplied Markdown links or images to bypass URL protections and execute script in rendered HTML. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
