The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 4.0 MEDIUM 28c92f92-d60d-412d-b760-e73465c3df22
CVSS 4.0 MEDIUM [email protected]
Solution
Sanitize data URLs to prevent header injection by validating mediatype.
  • Avoid parsing data URLs with urllib.request.DataHandler.
  • Validate mediatype in data URLs.
  • Do not allow newlines in mediatype.
