This security update addresses two Important-severity vulnerabilities in Python 3.12 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 EUS: a use-after-free in decompression modules (CVE-2026-6100) allowing arbitrary code execution or information disclosure, and a command injection flaw in the `webbrowser.open()` API (CVE-2026-4786) leading to arbitrary code execution. The article does not provide specific CVSS scores, affected version ranges, or fixed version numbers for the Python packages. Red Hat advises applying the update via the referenced solution article; no workaround is mentioned.
