By-passing Cross-Site Scripting Protection in HTML Sanitizer

Published Updated OSV record ↗

Also known as CVE-2023-38500

Severity
  • CVSS 3.xCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Affected versions

Description

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C (4.4)
Problem

Due to an encoding issue in the serialization layer, malicious markup nested in a noscript element was not encoded correctly. noscript is disabled in the default configuration, but might have been enabled in custom scenarios. This allows bypassing the cross-site scripting mechanism of typo3/html-sanitizer.

Solution

Update to typo3/html-sanitizer versions 1.5.1 or 2.1.2 that fix the problem described.
