CVE-2021-43818
7.1 - High
- December 13, 2021
lxml is a library for processing XML and HTML in the Python language.

CVE-2021-28957
6.1 - Medium
- March 21, 2021
An XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module versions before 4.6.3. When disabling the safe_attrs_only and forms arguments, the Cleaner class does not remove the formaction attribute allowing for JS to bypass the sanitizer. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary JS code on users who interact with incorrectly sanitized HTML. This issue is patched in lxml 4.6.3.

CVE-2020-27783
6.1 - Medium
- December 03, 2020
A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module. The module's parser didn't properly imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user's page. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code.
