3Description
DOMPurify 3.1.3 through 3.3.1 and 2.5.3 through 2.5.8, fixed in commit 729097f, contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass attribute sanitization by exploiting five missing rawtext elements (noscript, xmp, noembed, noframes, iframe) in the SAFE_FOR_XML regex. Attackers can include payloads like </noscript><img src=x onerror=alert(1)> in attribute values to execute JavaScript when sanitized output is placed inside these unprotected rawtext contexts.
Analysis
DOMPurify versions 2.5.3-2.5.8 and 3.1.3-3.3.1 fail to sanitize attribute values within certain rawtext HTML elements (noscript, xmp, noembed, noframes, iframe), allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when sanitized content is rendered in these contexts. An attacker can exploit this by embedding JavaScript payloads in HTML attributes, bypassing DOMPurify's sanitization to achieve cross-site scripting. …
