TIMELINE May 7 Reserved by GitHub_M May 26 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-44708 (lepture mistune). Public exploit reference added. May 26 Published (CNA: GitHub_M)
Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.2.1, the mistune math plugin renders inline math ($...$) and block math ($$...$$) by concatenating the raw user-supplied content directly into the HTML output without any HTML escaping. This occurs even when the parser is explicitly created with escape=True, which is supposed to guarantee that all user-controlled text is sanitised before reaching the DOM. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.2.1.
