CVE-2026-3644 Details
Description
The fix for CVE-2026-0672, which rejected control characters in http.cookies.Morsel, was incomplete. The Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not patched, allowing control characters to bypass input validation. Additionally, BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to BaseCookie.output().
A vulnerability exists in the Python standard library's http.cookies module, specifically in the Morsel class. The issue arises because the fix for a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-0672) was incomplete. While control characters were rejected in some contexts, such as when setting the 'path' attribute, the update() method, the |= operator, and unpickling paths were not properly patched. This oversight allows control characters to bypass input validation. Furthermore, the BaseCookie.js_output() method lacked the output validation that was applied to BaseCookie.output()
Users should update to the latest version of Python where this vulnerability has been addressed.
