SCA: security update for unstructured (GHSA-v5mq-3xhg-98m9)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474684
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The unstructured library provides open-source components for ingesting and pre-processing images and text
documents, such as PDFs, HTML, Word docs, and many more. Prior to 0.24.1,
partition_html(html_parser_version="v2") and the VLM partitioner can preserve untrusted document tags,
attributes, text, and link targets in metadata.text_as_html, while elements_to_html() emits the result as
an HTML document. The to_html() path in unstructured/documents/ontology.py does not escape output or
reject unsafe URL schemes, allowing event-handler attributes, attribute breakout markup, and javascript:
links to survive parsing. When the generated HTML or text_as_html is rendered in a browser, attacker-
controlled script can execute in the viewer's origin, including in document-ingestion workflows where a
privileged reviewer opens submitted content. This issue is fixed in version 0.24.1. (CVE-2026-104250)
Solution
Update the unstructured library and its related packages to version 0.24.1 or later.See Also
