MechanicalSoup is a Python library for automating interaction with
websites. Starting in version 0.2.0 and prior to version 1.3.0, a malicious
web server can read arbitrary files on the client using a <input type="file" ...> inside HTML form. All users of MechanicalSoup’s form
submission are affected, unless they took very specific (and manual) steps
to reset HTML form field values. Version 1.3.0 contains a patch for this
issue.
