Summary
Webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset. The webpack developers have discovered a DOM Clobbering vulnerability in Webpack’s `AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule`. The DOM Clobbering gadget in the module can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in web pages where scriptless attacker-controlled HTML elements (e.g., an `img` tag with an unsanitized `name` attribute) are present. Real-world exploitation of this gadget has been observed in the Canvas LMS which allows a XSS attack to happen through a javascript code compiled by Webpack (the vulnerable part is from Webpack). DOM Clobbering is a type of code-reuse attack where the attacker first embeds a piece of non-script, seemingly benign HTML markups in the webpage (e.g. through a post or comment) and leverages the gadgets (pieces of js code) living in the existing javascript code to transform it into executable code. This vulnerability can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) on websites that include Webpack-generated files and allow users to inject certain scriptless HTML tags with improperly sanitized name or id attributes. This issue has been addressed in release version 5.94.0. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

El gadget DOM Clobbering en el m\u00f3dulo puede conducir a cross site scripting (XSS) en p\u00e1ginas web donde est\u00e1n presentes elementos HTML controlados por atacantes sin secuencias de comandos (por ejemplo, una etiqueta `img` con un atributo `name` no desinfectado).

Esta vulnerabilidad puede provocar cross site scripting (XSS) en sitios web que incluyen archivos generados por Webpack y permiten a los usuarios inyectar ciertas etiquetas HTML sin secuencias de comandos con nombres o atributos de identificaci\u00f3n desinfectados incorrectamente.
