CVE-2026-44644
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. Versions 10.25.7 and below are vulnerable to XSS through a flaw in the strip_html filter logic. The strip_html filter is intended to remove HTML tags from a string before rendering, and is widely used as an XSS sanitizer. The implementation uses a regex whose catch-all branch (<.*?>) does not match line terminators, so any HTML tag containing a \n or \r character passes through unmodified. An attacker who can place a newline inside a tag (e.g. <img\nsrc=x\nonerror=alert(1)>) bypasses sanitization entirely, since browsers treat newlines as whitespace within a tag and execute the resulting onerror/onload/etc. handler. Exploitation is possible for applications that both render attacker-controlled strings via {{ x | strip_html }} to defend against HTML injection and do not separately HTML-escape that output (default behavior — outputEscape is unset by default). This issue has been fixed in version 10.26.0.

"value": "LiquidJS es un motor de plantillas compatible con Shopify/GitHub Pages escrito en JavaScript puro. Las versiones 10.25.7 e inferiores son vulnerables a XSS debido a una falla en la lógica del filtro strip_html. El filtro strip_html está diseñado para eliminar etiquetas HTML de una cadena antes de la renderización, y es ampliamente utilizado como un saneador de XSS. La implementación utiliza una expresión regular (regex) cuya rama comodín (<.* [código_PHP_PoC] ) no coincide con los terminadores de línea, por lo que cualquier etiqueta HTML que contenga un carácter \\n o \\r pasa sin modificar. Un atacante que puede colocar un salto de línea dentro de una etiqueta (p. ej., <img\\nsrc=x\\nonerror=alert(1)>) elude completamente la sanitización, ya que los navegadores tratan los saltos de línea como espacios en blanco dentro de una etiqueta y ejecutan el gestor onerror/onload/etc. resultante. La explotación es posible para aplicaciones que tanto renderizan cadenas controladas por el atacante a través de {{ x | strip_html }} para defenderse contra la inyección HTML como no escapan por separado esa salida HTML (comportamiento predeterminado - outputEscape no está configurado por defecto). Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 10.26.0."
