Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of @ok_message/@error_message parameters. The PyPI 1.4.20 release notes explicitly mention fixing XSS in message handling by disallowing HTML tags. The associated issue2550724 shows the clean_message function was the focal point of security changes, transitioning from whitelisted tag allowance to full escaping. This function would appear in stack traces when processing user-supplied messages for web output.
