Summary
The affected range closes with
last_affected: 1.86, which leaves the record without a fixed version. Biopython 1.87 contains the fix for CVE-2025-68463, so the range should close withfixed: 1.87.Evidence
The 1.87 release notes state: "Addressed security issue CVE-2025-68463 in
Bio.Entrez.Parserif parsing untrusted files." See NEWS.rst at the 1.87 tag.Commit 736c96f, already referenced by this advisory, is contained in tag
biopython-187and is not contained inbiopython-186.PyPI lists no release between 1.86 and 1.87, so 1.87 is the first patched version.
Validation
One advisory changed, one range event replaced. The file parses with
python -m json.tool. Both source URLs were checked against the upstream repository.
