NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python2-pluggy package and not the python2-pluggy package as distributed by RHEL.

A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module. The module's parser didn't properly imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user's page. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code.
