    "summary": "hpack provides a simple Python interface to the HPACK compression algorithm,used to compress HTTP headers in HTTP/2.Used by some of the most populer HTTP/2 implementations in Python,HPACK offers a great Python interface as well as optional upgrade to optimised C-based compression routines from nghttp2. Security Fix(es): hpack is an HTTP/2 Header Encoding for Python. Prior to version 4.2.0, unbounded variable integer decoding can cause run-away computation on malformed input leading to O(n^2) runtime, effectively blocking further processing with large enough unsanitized input. A fix is available in python-hyper/hpack v4.2.0 to restricted variable integer decoding to uint32 to prevent run-away computation. As a workaround, sanitize input to hpack decoder for long sequences of `0xFF` values to prevent malicious use.(CVE-2026-59980)",
