High (7.5) in mechanicalsoup project mechanicalsoup. EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in mechanicalsoup 1.3.0.
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 `<input type="file" ...>` 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.
