Prior to 4.0, Soup Sieve repeatedly walks the same ancestors while matching descendant combinators, and each additional descendant combinator raises the polynomial degree of the work on deeply nested attacker-influenced HTML or XML. Applications using selectors such as section div div through select(), select_one(), or Beautiful Soup CSS APIs against untrusted documents can have a worker occupied for seconds or minutes, while trusted-only document processing is not affected. Selectors compiled with NOCACHE continue to use the old uncached behavior. This issue is fixed in version 4.0."
