CVE-2026-44896 - Mistune has XSS via unescaped figclass/figwidth in Figure directive
CVE-2026-44896
GHSA-58cw-g322-p94v MEDIUM pip/mistune
CVE: CVE-2026-44896
In src/mistune/directives/image.py, the render_figure() function concatenates figclass and figwidth options directly into HTML attributes without escaping (lines 152-168).
This allows attribute injection and XSS even when HTMLRenderer(escape=True) is used, because these values bypass the inline renderer.
Other attributes in the same file (src, alt, style) are properly escaped; figclass/figwidth were missed.
