DescriptionCVE.org

Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value "refresh". A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.

AnalysisAI

HTML meta tags with http-equiv="refresh" attributes fail to properly escape URLs inserted through certain actions, enabling cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against applications using this functionality. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers by crafting malicious URLs. No patch is currently available, though a GODEBUG setting (htmlmetacontenturlescape=0) can be configured as a temporary mitigation.

Technical ContextAI

Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value "refresh". A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0.

RemediationAI

Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Implement output encoding and Content Security Policy headers. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
