soupsieve: Soup Sieve is a CSS selector library designed to be used with Beautiful Soup 4
CVE-2026-49476 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by SUSE-SU-2026:22660-1, released July 14, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Soup Sieve is a CSS selector library designed to be used with Beautiful Soup 4. Prior to 2.8.4, the CSS selector parser in soupsieve allocates unbounded memory when compiling large comma-separated selector lists, allowing an attacker who can supply a crafted selector string to soupsieve.compile() or Beautiful Soup .select() / .select_one() to allocate hundreds of megabytes of heap memory from a relatively small input and cause denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 2.8.4.
