NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3 package and not the python3 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Element.findall() and fully-consumed Element.iterfind() exhibit O(n^2) time complexity when using XPath index predicates (e.g. [1], [last()], [last()-N]) on XML documents with many same-tag siblings. Element.find() is only affected when the first match is near the end  of the sibling list, such as with [last()] or [last()-N].//item[1] short-circuits after the first match.
