{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-9375","details":"XML Injection vulnerability in xmltodict allows Input Data Manipulation. This issue affects xmltodict: from 0.14.2 before 0.15.1. NOTE: the scope of this CVE is disputed by the vendor on the grounds that xmltodict.unparse() delegates element-name handling to Python's xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator, and that XMLGenerator should be the component performing validation.","modified":"2026-09-16T14:01:32.303154833Z","published":"2025-09-01T17:15:00Z","related":["USN-7753-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2025-9375"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-9375"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-9375"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://fluidattacks.com/advisories/mono"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7753-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-xmltodict","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/python-xmltodict?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.9.2-3ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]}],"versions":["0.9.2-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"python-xmltodict","binary_version":"0.9.2-3ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"python3-xmltodict","binary_version":"0.9.2-3ubuntu0.1~esm1"}],"availability":"Available
