{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2023-34457","details":"MechanicalSoup is a Python library for automating interaction with websites. Starting in version 0.2.0 and prior to version 1.3.0, a malicious web server can read arbitrary files on the client using a `\u003cinput type=\"file\" ...\u003e` 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. Version 1.3.0 contains a patch for this issue.","modified":"2026-09-15T09:02:37.972941273Z","published":"2023-07-05T20:15:10.343Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-34457"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2023-34457"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-mechanicalsoup","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-mechanicalsoup?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.10.0-6","1.3.0-1","1.3.0-2","1.3.0-3","1.4.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-34457.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-mechanicalsoup","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-mechanicalsoup?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.3.0-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-34457.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-mechanicalsoup","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-mechanicalsoup?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.3.0-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2023-34457.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
