DescriptionCVE.org

DOMPurify before 3.3.2 contains a URI validation bypass vulnerability when ADD_ATTR is provided as a predicate function via EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck. Attackers can supply a predicate that accepts specific attribute and tag combinations to bypass URI-safe validation, allowing unsafe protocols like javascript: to survive sanitization and execute as DOM-based XSS when the link is activated.

AnalysisAI

URI validation bypass in DOMPurify 3.3.1 and earlier allows javascript: protocol payloads to survive HTML sanitization and execute as DOM-based XSS when a crafted link is activated. The flaw exists in the _isValidAttribute function, which short-circuits before URI-safe validation runs when a caller-supplied predicate via EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck returns true for a given attribute/tag pair. Exploitation is conditioned on the consuming application using the non-default ADD_ATTR predicate API, but a working proof-of-concept is confirmed in the official GHSA advisory; no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

DOMPurify (npm/dompurify, CPE: cpe:2.3:a:cure53:dompurify) is a JavaScript HTML sanitization library designed to strip dangerous markup before DOM insertion. The EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck API allows callers to extend attribute allowlisting by passing a predicate function as ADD_ATTR. Internally, _isValidAttribute evaluates this predicate before performing URI-safe validation; when the predicate returns true, the function exits early, skipping the check that would otherwise block javascript:, vbscript:, and other unsafe URI schemes. The root cause maps to CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation): caller-controlled logic is permitted to override a core sanitization invariant, breaking the library's safety contract. The vulnerability was identified by Cantina's Apex security team.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: DOMPurify 3.3.2 resolves the URI validation bypass by ensuring URI-safe checks are not skipped when a caller-supplied predicate returns true; upgrade immediately via npm install dompurify@3.3.2 or equivalent. Full details are in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/security/advisories/GHSA-cjmm-f4jc-qw8r. For teams unable to upgrade immediately, the most effective compensating control is to remove or restrict use of EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.attributeCheck with ADD_ATTR predicates that return true for URI-bearing attributes such as href, src, or action; this eliminates the short-circuit path entirely. If the custom predicate is operationally required, add an explicit URI scheme blocklist within the predicate itself (e.g., reject values matching ^javascript: or ^vbscript: before returning true) as a temporary measure - note this shifts safety enforcement from the library to application code and must be treated as a stopgap only, as scheme detection in application code is error-prone and may be bypassed by encoding variants.
