## Summary

Mistune, a Python Markdown parser, is affected when rendering untrusted markdown that uses its figure directive. Attackers can inject arbitrary CSS through the unvalidated figwidth option, which can make victim browsers send requests to attacker-controlled servers and leak information.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- lepture mistune: from 3.2.1, fixed in 3.3.0

## Description

Mistune from 3.2.1 before 3.3.0 contains a CSS injection vulnerability that allows attackers controlling markdown input to inject arbitrary style declarations via the unvalidated figwidth option of the figure directive. Attackers can append declarations like background:url() to the rendered figure style attribute, forcing victim browsers to send requests to attacker servers and leak attribute values.
