CVE-2026-4786 Details
Description
Mitgation of CVE-2026-4519 was incomplete. If the URL contained "%action" the mitigation could be bypassed for certain browser types the "webbrowser.open()" API could have commands injected into the underlying shell. See CVE-2026-4519 for details.
A vulnerability has been identified in the Python 'webbrowser' module, specifically in versions 3.10 through 3.14. This issue arises from an incomplete mitigation of a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-4519), which allowed for command injection into the underlying shell. The bypass occurs when a URL contains '%action', exploiting certain browser types that use the 'webbrowser.open()' API.
Users can upgrade to Python versions 3.10.12, 3.11.16, 3.12.6, 3.13.0, or 3.14.0 to address this vulnerability.
