CVE-2026-49458
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. Prior to 3.4.6, DOMPurify.sanitize(node, { IN_PLACE: true }) accepted same-origin foreign-realm DOM nodes while follow-on checks used parent-realm constructors, causing instanceof checks for forms, named node maps, document fragments, and elements to fail and skip clobber, template-content, and shadow-DOM sanitization branches so executable markup could survive. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.6.

Antes de la versión 3.4.6, DOMPurify.sanitize(node, { IN_PLACE: true }) aceptaba nodos DOM de origen idéntico y ámbito externo mientras que las comprobaciones posteriores utilizaban constructores del ámbito padre, lo que provocaba que las comprobaciones instanceof para formularios, mapas de nodos con nombre, fragmentos de documento y elementos fallaran y omitieran las ramas de sanitización de clobber, template-content y shadow-DOM de modo que el marcado ejecutable podía sobrevivir. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 3.4.6."
