In `src/mistune/directives/image.py`, the `render_figure()` function concatenates `figclass` and `figwidth` options directly into HTML attributes without escaping (lines 152-168). This allows attribute injection and XSS even when `HTMLRenderer(escape=True)` is used, because these values bypass the inline renderer. Other attributes in the same file (src, alt, style) are properly escaped; figclass/figwidth were missed.
Update mistune to 3.2.1 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanMistune has XSS via unescaped figclass/figwidth in Figure directive affects mistune (pip). Severity is medium. In `src/mistune/directives/image.py`, the `render_figure()` function concatenates `figclass` and `figwidth` options directly into HTML attributes without escaping (lines 152-168).

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in pip. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
| Package | Affected range | Fixed version |
|---|---|---|
| mistunepip | <=3.2.0 | 3.2.1 |
Fixed versions are reported by the source feed; confirm compatibility before updating.
