Description Vladimir Vasilev 2026-08-26 11:48:55 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.

eml_parser serves as a python module for parsing eml files and returning various information found in the e-mail as well as computed information. Prior to 3.0.2, the clean_found_uri function in eml_parser/parser.py validates potential URL strings before unescaping HTML entities used for colon, slash, or period characters. Valid encoded URLs and their host names are therefore rejected and omitted from the extracted URL and domain lists. Email security gateways and SOC pipelines that use those lists as indicators of compromise may fail to submit the hidden URLs to threat intelligence feeds, reputation services, or sandboxes, allowing malicious links to bypass inspection. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.2.

This CVE is for a different package in a different ecosystem that happens to share a similar name
