CVSS 8.7 osv_packagist
Description
### Impact TinyMCE 6.8.x contains an XSS vulnerability caused by improper SVG namespace scope handling in the sanitizer. A crafted payload using nested <svg> elements can bypass attribute sanitization and execute arbitrary JavaScript. ### Patches This issue affects TinyMCE 6.8.x-7.0.x. The vulnerability is fixed in TinyMCE 7.1.0 and later. ### Workarounds No official workaround available. ### Acknowledgements Tiny thanks [maple3142](https://github.com/maple3142) (<https://maple3142.net>) of DEVCORE for their help identifying this vulnerability. ### References Fix introduced in TinyMCE 7.1.0 though a rewrite of code causing the vulnerability.
