Cross-site Scripting in enshrined/svg-sanitize

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 13, 2022 in darylldoyle/svg-sanitizer • Updated Feb 5, 2024

Package

composer enshrined/svg-sanitize (Composer)

Affected versions

< 0.15.0

Patched versions

0.15.0

Description

Impact

SVG sanitizer library before version 0.15.0 did not remove HTML elements wrapped in a CDATA section. As a result, SVG content embedded in HTML (fetched as text/html) was susceptible to cross-site scripting. Plain SVG files (fetched as image/svg+xml) were not affected.

Patches

This issue is fixed in 0.15.0 and higher.

Workarounds

There is currently no workaround available without upgrading.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
