GHSA-4mvj-m6j5-pmf7: unstructured (CVE-2026-71428)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
unstructured	PyPI	>=0.4.7, <0.24.0	0.24.0

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Vulnerable: the unstructured package, versions 0.4.7 up to but not including 0.24.0. The url= argument of partition(), partition_html() and partition_md() fetches the target without checking the host, so an attacker who can supply a URL can make the server request internal addresses such as loopback services or cloud metadata endpoints and read the response text. Upgrade to version 0.24.0 or later. The source gives few details on workarounds.
