CVE-2023-34457:
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.
Standards version of the package is outdated.
wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy
(Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of
4.6.2).
