Summary

Cross-Site Scripting in dompurify

Details

Versions of dompurify prior to 2.0.3 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package has an XSS filter bypass due to Mutation XSS in both Chrome and Safari through a combination of <svg>/<math> elements and </p>/</br>. An example payload is: <svg></p><style><a id="</style><img src=1 onerror=alert(1)>">. This allows attackers to bypass the XSS protection and execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 2.0.3 or later. You may also disallow <svg> and <math> through dompurify configurations: DOMPurify.sanitize(input, { FORBID_TAGS: ['svg', 'math'] });
