Updated

Werkzeug started as simple collection of variousutilities for WSGI applications and has become one of the most advancedWSGI utility modules. It includes a powerful debugger, full featuredrequest and response objects, HTTP utilities to handle entity tags, cachecontrol headers, HTTP dates, cookie handling, file uploads, a powerful URLrouting system and a bunch of community contributed addon modules. Werkzeugis unicode aware and doesn't enforce a specific template engine, databaseadapter or anything else. It doesn't even enforce a specific way ofhandling requests and leaves all that up to the developer. It's most usefulfor end user applications which should work on as many server environmentsas possible (such as blogs, wikis, bulletin boards, etc.).Security Fix(es): high resource usage when parsing multipart form data with many fields (CVE-2023-25577)For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSSscore, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVEpage listed in the References section.
