lxml~=6.0.2 excludes 6.1.0, which fixes CVE-2026-41066 / GHSA-vfmq-68hx-4jfw (XXE local-file read via the resolve_entities=True default). Downstream projects that depend on python-fints cannot adopt the lxml fix while the cap stays at <6.1. python-fints uses lxml only via etree.fromstring (fints/camt_parser.py); smoke-tested with lxml 6.1.0: import, namespaced parse and client import all ok.

What
Loosen the lxml cap from
lxml~=6.0.2tolxml>=6.0.2,<7.Why
lxml 6.1.0 fixes CVE-2026-41066 (GHSA-vfmq-68hx-4jfw / PYSEC-2026-87) — an
XXE local-file read via the
resolve_entities=Trueparser default. The currentlxml~=6.0.2cap (<6.1) prevents any project depending on python-fints fromupgrading lxml to the patched 6.1.x, so the security fix is blocked downstream.
Compatibility
python-fints uses lxml only through
etree.fromstring(fints/camt_parser.py).Smoke-tested against lxml 6.1.0:
import fints, fints.client, fints.camt_parser→ oketree.fromstring(b'<Doc xmlns="urn:test">…</Doc>')(namespaced parse) → okNo lxml API used by python-fints changed between 6.0 and 6.1; 6.1.0 only changes
the parser's default entity-resolution mode, which python-fints doesn't rely on.
