CVE-2020-27783: lxml vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting
(updated )
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.
