python-multipart: Python-Multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python
CVE-2026-53538 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53538, released June 22, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Python-Multipart is a streaming multipart parser for Python. Prior to 0.0.30, QuerystringParser treated ; as a field separator in application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, in addition to &. The WHATWG URL standard, modern browsers, and Python's urllib.parse (since the CVE-2021-23336 fix) treat only & as a separator. This creates a parser differential: the same bytes are tokenized into different fields than a WHATWG compliant intermediary would produce, allowing an attacker to smuggle extra form fields past an upstream body inspecting component. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.0.30.
