Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) In dompurify
Description
Cross-Site Scripting in dompurify
Versions of dompurify prior to 2.0.3 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package has an XSS filter bypass due to Mutation XSS in both Chrome and Safari through a combination of <svg>/<math> elements and </p>/</br>. An example payload is: <svg></p><style><a id="</style><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>">. This allows attackers to bypass the XSS protection and execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 2.0.3 or later. You may also disallow <svg> and <math> through dompurify configurations:
FORBID_TAGS: ['svg', 'math'] });```
Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
