 Fixes security issues [GHSA-v9pg-7xvm-68hf](https://github.com/Kludex/python- multipart/security/advisories/GHSA-v9pg-7xvm-68hf), [GHSA-5rvq- cxj2-64vf](https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart/security/advisories/GHSA-5rvq-cxj2-64vf), [GHSA-6jv3-5f52-599m](https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart/security/advisories/GHSA-6jv3-5f52-599m), and [GHSA-vffw-93wf-4j4q](https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart/security/advisories/GHSA- vffw-93wf-4j4q).

 ----

 ## 0.0.30 (2026-05-31)

 * Parse `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` bodies per the WHATWG URL standard, treating only `&` as a field separator.
 * Ignore RFC 2231/5987 extended parameters (`name*`, `filename*`) in `parse_options_header`, keeping the plain parameter authoritative per [RFC 7578 4.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7578#section-4.2).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
