CVE-2026-17084 | BDVDB-2026-360767 Detail
Python Software FoundationCPython
Description#
The "stringprep" module didn't process characters from RFC 3454 tables B.2 or B.3 correctly: the latest Unicode codepoint attributes were used instead of the specified Unicode 3.2.0. This behavior would cause mismatches when processing domain names using IDNA 2003 (the "idna" codec) and the in_table_b2() function of the "stringprep" module. This only affects domain names containing characters that were not previously registered or had their Unicode attributes such as case-folding behavior updated since Unicode 3.2.0.
Impact#
Per CVSS v4.0: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact high, availability impact none. Attack vector: network.
