Summary
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in TinyMCE alerts
Details

Impact

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the alert and confirm dialogs when these dialogs were provided with malicious HTML content. This can occur in plugins that use the alert or confirm dialogs, such as in the image plugin, which presents these dialogs when certain errors occur. The vulnerability allowed arbitrary JavaScript execution when an alert presented in the TinyMCE UI for the current user.

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 5.10.7 and TinyMCE 6.3.1 by ensuring HTML sanitization was still performed after unwrapping invalid elements.

Fix

To avoid this vulnerability: - Upgrade to TinyMCE 5.10.7 or higher for TinyMCE 5.x. - Upgrade to TinyMCE 6.3.1 or higher for TinyMCE 6.x.

Workaround

To reduce the impact of this vulnerability: - Ensure the the images_upload_handler returns a valid value as per the images_upload_handler documentation.
