Sourced from lxml's changelog.

6.1.0 (2026-04-17)

This release fixes a possible external entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in iterparse() and the ETCompatXMLParser.

Features added

• GH#486: The HTML ARIA accessibility attributes were added to the set of safe attributes in lxml.html.defs. This allows lxml_html_clean to pass them through. Patch by oomsveta.

• The default chunk size for reading from file-likes in iterparse() is now configurable with a new chunk_size argument.

Bugs fixed

• LP#2146291: The resolve_entities option was still set to True for iterparse and ETCompatXMLParser, allowing for external entity injection (XXE) when using these parsers without setting this option explicitly. The default was now changed to 'internal' only (as for the normal XML and HTML parsers since lxml 5.0). Issue found by Sihao Qiu as CVE-2026-41066.
