The expat and elementtree parsers use insufficient entropy for XML hash-flooding protection
CVE-2026-7210 is fixed in 75 products on 3 platforms, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-7210, released May 11, 2026. 10 other affected products have no fix yet. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
`xml.parsers.expat` and `xml.etree.ElementTree` use insufficient entropy for Expat hash-flooding protection, which allows a crafted XML document to trigger hash flooding.\r\n\r\nFully mitigating this vulnerability requires both updating libexpat to 2.8.0 or later and applying this patch.
