CVE-2026-63670

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 2.17.6, sanitizeHtml() can pass disallowed executable markup through packages/sanitize-html/index.js when textarea or xmp is included in allowedTags because a literal solidus after the raw-text end-tag name is treated as text by htmlparser2 and the ontext handler emits that content without escaping, while a browser parses the following img onerror markup as active HTML. This issue is fixed in version 2.17.6.

Antes de la 2.17.6, sanitizeHtml() puede permitir el paso de marcado ejecutable no permitido a través de packages/sanitize-html/index.js cuando textarea o xmp están incluidos en allowedTags porque una barra sólida literal después del nombre de la etiqueta de cierre de texto sin formato es tratada como texto por htmlparser2 y el gestor ontext emite ese contenido sin escapar, mientras que un navegador analiza el siguiente marcado img onerror como HTML activo. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 2.17.6."
