GHSA-WG96-3933-J2W5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2018-11-09 17:45 – Updated: 2023-09-08 23:10

Summary

Cross-Site Scripting in sanitize-html

Details

Affected versions of sanitize-html are vulnerable to cross-site scripting.

Proof of Concept:

<IMG SRC= onmouseover="alert('XSS');"> produces the following:

<img src="onmouseover="alert('XSS');"" /> This is definitely invalid HTML, but would suggest that it's being interpreted incorrectly by the parser.

Recommendation

Update to version 1.2.3 or later.

Severity

6.1 (Medium)
