CVE-2024-9287 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-30 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability has been found in the CPython `venv` module and CLI where path names provided when creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into virtual environment "activation" scripts (ie "source venv/bin/activate"). This means that attacker-controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated. Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie "./venv/bin/python") are not affected.
CVE-2026-6019 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-26 N/A 6.1 MEDIUM
http.cookies.Morsel.js_output() returns an inline <script> snippet and only escapes " for JavaScript string context. It does not neutralize the HTML parser-sensitive sequence </script> inside the generated script element. Mitigation base64-encodes the cookie value to disallow escaping using cookie value.
CVE-2026-3087 2 Microsoft, Python 2 Windows, Python 2026-10-26 N/A 7.5 HIGH
If `shutil.unpack_archive()` is given a ZIP archive with an absolute Windows path containing a drive (`C:\\...`) then the archive will be extracted outside the target directory which is different than other operating systems. Only Windows is affected by this vulnerability.
CVE-2026-7210 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-26 N/A 7.5 HIGH
`xml.parsers.expat` and `xml.etree.ElementTree` use insufficient entropy for Expat hash-flooding protection, which allows a crafted XML document to trigger hash flooding.\r\n\r\nFully mitigating this vulnerability requires both updating libexpat to 2.8.0 or later and applying this patch.
CVE-2026-0864 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-25 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
When using the "configparser" module to write configuration files containing multi-line text values with carriage return characters (\r) the resulting file could be injected with unexpected keys and values if the attacker controls the written value.
CVE-2026-4360 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-25 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
In the Tarfile.extract() function, the filter parameter is not passed properly when extracting hardlinks. An affected system that extracts content from untrusted tar files could end up writing files with an unexpected uid/gid despite the user passing filter='data' to the extract() function.
CVE-2026-15308 1 Python 1 Python 2026-10-25 N/A 7.5 HIGH
The incremental HTML parser (html.parser.HTMLParser) allows for CPU denial-of-service through repeated unterminated markup declarations when processing uncontrolled data.
CVE-2018-20406 3 Debian, Fedoraproject, Python 3 Debian Linux, Fedora, Python 2026-10-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Modules/_pickle.c in Python before 3.7.1 has an integer overflow via a large LONG_BINPUT value that is mishandled during a "resize to twice the size" attempt. This issue might cause memory exhaustion, but is only relevant if the pickle format is used for serializing tens or hundreds of gigabytes of data. This issue is fixed in: v3.4.10, v3.4.10rc1; v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.7, v3.5.7rc1, v3.5.8, v3.5.8rc1, v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12, v3.6.7, v3.6.7rc1, v3.6.7rc2, v3.6.8, v3.6.8rc1, v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1; v3.7.1, v3.7.1rc1, v3.7.1rc2, v3.7.2, v3.7.2rc1, v3.7.3, v3.7.3rc1, v3.7.4, v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1, v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.
CVE-2018-1061 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 8 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 5 more 2026-10-15 5.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
python before versions 2.7.15, 3.4.9, 3.5.6rc1, 3.6.5rc1 and 3.7.0 is vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking in the difflib.IS_LINE_JUNK method. An attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service.
CVE-2023-24329 3 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python 6 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Management Services For Element Software and 3 more 2026-10-14 N/A 7.5 HIGH
An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters.
CVE-2022-48560 2 Debian, Python 2 Debian Linux, Python 2026-10-14 N/A 7.5 HIGH
A use-after-free exists in Python through 3.9 via heappushpop in heapq.
CVE-2022-45061 3 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python 10 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Bootstrap Os and 7 more 2026-10-14 N/A 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname. For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16.
CVE-2022-37454 8 Debian, Extended Keccak Code Package Project, Fedoraproject and 5 more 8 Debian Linux, Extended Keccak Code Package, Fedora and 5 more 2026-10-14 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
The Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation before fdc6fef has an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or eliminate expected cryptographic properties. This occurs in the sponge function interface.
CVE-2022-26488 3 Microsoft, Netapp, Python 4 Windows, Active Iq Unified Manager, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 1 more 2026-10-14 4.4 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
In Python before 3.10.3 on Windows, local users can gain privileges because the search path is inadequately secured. The installer may allow a local attacker to add user-writable directories to the system search path. To exploit, an administrator must have installed Python for all users and enabled PATH entries. A non-administrative user can trigger a repair that incorrectly adds user-writable paths into PATH, enabling search-path hijacking of other users and system services. This affects Python (CPython) through 3.7.12, 3.8.x through 3.8.12, 3.9.x through 3.9.10, and 3.10.x through 3.10.2.
CVE-2022-0391 4 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Oracle and 1 more 10 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Hci and 7 more 2026-10-14 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in Python, specifically within the urllib.parse module. This module helps break Uniform Resource Locator (URL) strings into components. The issue involves how the urlparse method does not sanitize input and allows characters like '\r' and '\n' in the URL path. This flaw allows an attacker to input a crafted URL, leading to injection attacks. This flaw affects Python versions prior to 3.10.0b1, 3.9.5, 3.8.11, 3.7.11 and 3.6.14.
CVE-2021-28861 2 Fedoraproject, Python 2 Fedora, Python 2026-10-14 N/A 7.4 HIGH
Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure. NOTE: this is disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states "Warning: http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks."
CVE-2021-23336 6 Debian, Djangoproject, Fedoraproject and 3 more 12 Debian Linux, Django, Fedora and 9 more 2026-10-14 4.0 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before 3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter.
CVE-2021-4189 4 Debian, Netapp, Python and 1 more 5 Debian Linux, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility, Python and 2 more 2026-10-14 N/A 5.3 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in Python, specifically in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library in PASV (passive) mode. The issue is how the FTP client trusts the host from the PASV response by default. This flaw allows an attacker to set up a malicious FTP server that can trick FTP clients into connecting back to a given IP address and port. This vulnerability could lead to FTP client scanning ports, which otherwise would not have been possible.
CVE-2021-3737 6 Canonical, Fedoraproject, Netapp and 3 more 17 Ubuntu Linux, Fedora, Hci and 14 more 2026-10-14 7.1 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in python. An improperly handled HTTP response in the HTTP client code of python may allow a remote attacker, who controls the HTTP server, to make the client script enter an infinite loop, consuming CPU time. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
CVE-2021-3733 4 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python and 1 more 20 Extra Packages For Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Hci Compute Node Firmware and 17 more 2026-10-14 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the server to the client. The greatest threat that this flaw poses is to application availability.
