PYSEC-2026-923 — soappy: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'soappy>=0.12.6'Details
SOAPpy 0.12.5 does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted SOAP request containing a large number of nested entity references.
