Description Matteo Signorini 2026-07-09 11:00:56 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

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.
Comment 1 Miro Hrončok 2026-07-09 12:12:01 UTC 
This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2026-08-17 15:16:08 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
