Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-2213 — mistune: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'mistune>=3.3.0'

Details

Mistune is a Python Markdown parser with renderers and plugins. Prior to 3.3.0, long sequences of well-formed double-asterisk or triple-asterisk emphasis pairs around a character cause quadratic work in src/mistune/inline_parser.py because the parser scans forward for matching close markers from every potential opening run, allowing denial of service in default Mistune parsing. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
