CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Mistune, a Python Markdown parser, is vulnerable due to its Include.parse() function, which improperly handles user-supplied include paths, potentially allowing unauthorized access to files outside the intended markdown directory. This could lead to information disclosure when processing markdown files. Developers and organizations using versions prior to 3.3.0 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.3.0, Include.parse() joins and normalizes user-supplied include paths without verifying that the result remains within the intended markdown directory, allowing crafted include paths to access files outside that directory when markdown files are processed using md.read(). This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
