Details

DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. Versions 3.0.1 through 3.3.3 are vulnerable to a prototype pollution-based XSS bypass. When an application uses DOMPurify.sanitize() with the default configuration (no CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING option), a prior prototype pollution gadget can inject permissive tagNameCheck and attributeNameCheck regex values into Object.prototype, causing DOMPurify to allow arbitrary custom elements with arbitrary attributes — including event handlers — through sanitization. Version 3.4.0 fixes the issue.
