CVE-2026-59926: Mistune Project Mistune

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.2.1, render_admonition() in src/mistune/directives/admonition.py concatenates the Admonition directive :class: option into the HTML class attribute without escaping, allowing attribute injection and cross-site scripting even when HTMLRenderer escape mode is enabled. This issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.

Affected products

• Mistune Project Mistune: before 3.3.0 (fixed in 3.3.0)
