Description

An XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module versions before 4.6.3. When disabling the safe_attrs_only and forms arguments, the Cleaner class does not remove the formaction attribute allowing for JS to bypass the sanitizer. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary JS code on users who interact with incorrectly sanitized HTML. This issue is patched in lxml 4.6.3. A flaw was found in python-lxml. The HTML5 formaction attribute is not input sanitized like the HTML action attribute is which can lead to a Cross-Site Scripting attack (XSS) when an application uses python-lxml to sanitize user inputs. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
