CVE-2026-49459
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(root, { IN_PLACE: true }) could preserve event-handler attributes on an attacker-controlled <form> root when a descendant name clobbered properties checked by _isClobbered, because _forceRemove no-opped on the parent-less root and _sanitizeAttributes returned early. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.6.

Antes de la versión 3.4.6, DOMPurify.sanitize(root, { IN_PLACE: true }) podía preservar atributos de gestor de eventos en una raíz [form] controlada por un atacante cuando un nombre descendiente sobrescribía propiedades verificadas por _isClobbered, porque _forceRemove no realizaba ninguna operación en la raíz sin padre y _sanitizeAttributes retornaba prematuramente. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 3.4.6."
