Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-11 00:26 – Updated: 2026-03-11 20:44Summary
The fix for CVE-2025-35939 in craftcms/cms introduced a strip_tags() call in src/web/User.php to sanitize return URLs before they are stored in the session. However, strip_tags() only removes HTML tags (angle brackets) -- it does not inspect or filter URL schemes. Payloads like javascript:alert(document.cookie) contain no HTML tags and pass through strip_tags() completely unmodified, enabling reflected XSS when the return URL is rendered in an href attribute.
Details
The patched code in is:
public function setReturnUrl($url): void
{
parent::setReturnUrl(strip_tags($url));
}
strip_tags() removes HTML tags (e.g., <script>, <img>) from a string, but it is not a URL sanitizer. When the sanitized return URL is subsequently rendered in an href attribute context (e.g., <a href="{{ returnUrl }}">), the following dangerous payloads survive strip_tags() completely unmodified:
-
javascript:protocol URLs --javascript:alert(document.cookie)contains no HTML tags, sostrip_tags()returns it verbatim. When placed in anhref, clicking the link executes the JavaScript. -
data:URIs --data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5hbGVydCgxKTwvc2NyaXB0Pg==uses Base64 encoding and contains no tags at all, bypassingstrip_tags()entirely. -
Protocol-relative URLs --
//evil.com/stealcontains no tags and is passed through unchanged. When rendered as anhref, the browser resolves it relative to the current page’s protocol, redirecting the user to an attacker-controlled domain.
The core issue is that strip_tags() operates on HTML syntax (angle brackets) while the threat model here requires URL scheme validation. These are fundamentally different security concerns.
Impact
Reflected XSS via crafted return URL. An attacker constructs a malicious link such as https://target.example.com/craft/?returnUrl=javascript:alert(document.cookie) and sends it to a victim. The attack flow is:
- Victim clicks the link, visiting the Craft CMS site.
- The application calls
setReturnUrl()with the attacker-controlled value. strip_tags()processes the URL but finds no HTML tags -- it passes through unchanged.- The URL is stored in the session and later rendered in an
hrefattribute (e.g., a "Return" or "Continue" link). - When the victim clicks that link,
javascript:alert(document.cookie)executes in the context of the Craft CMS origin.
This enables:
- Session hijacking via cookie theft (document.cookie)
- Data exfiltration via fetch() to an attacker-controlled server
- Phishing by redirecting to a lookalike domain (protocol-relative URL)
- CSRF by performing actions on behalf of the authenticated user

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-21 06:30 – Updated: 2025-03-21 06:30An issue was discovered in OpenSlides before 4.2.5. When creating new chats via the chat_group.create action, the user is able to specify the name of the chat. Some HTML elements such as SCRIPT are filtered, whereas others are not. In most cases, HTML entities are encoded properly, but not when deleting chats or deleting messages in these chats. This potentially allows attackers to interfere with the layout of the rendered website, but it is unlikely that victims would click on deleted chats or deleted messages.

GHSA-G2G4-47GV-P72V
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-26 19:05 – Updated: 2026-05-26 19:05Summary
CryptPad’s HTML sanitizer in Diffmarked.js can be bypassed due to incomplete filtering of restricted tags.
Because the sanitizer only validates the src attribute of <iframe> <video>, and <audio> elements, and does not restrict other attributes, an attacker can inject arbitrary HTML through srcdoc. This completely defeats CryptPad’s intended bounce sandboxing and allows link injection or other interactive content inside user-controlled documents.
Details
The sanitizer defines forbidden and restricted tags but treats as “restricted” instead of “forbidden”:
https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad/blob/0dd3c1f53d56dffb06651b86ead6b9b387920173/www/common/diffMarked.js#L403-L407 The actual enforcement only checks the src attribute, nothing else:
https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad/blob/0dd3c1f53d56dffb06651b86ead6b9b387920173/www/common/diffMarked.js#L445-L449
Because only src is validated, adding a benign blob: src but malicious srcdoc results in unrestricted rendering.
PoC
An attacker can embed arbitrary HTML, including clickable external links, images, or interactive content, completely bypassing CryptPad’s bounce mechanism and sanitization:
<iframe src=blob: srcdoc="<a href=https://attacker.com target=_blank>CLICK ME</a>"></iframe>
Although CSP is strict, CryptPad exposes several same-origin gadgets that can execute attacker-controlled code.
For example, jscolor.js dynamically evaluates user-provided options:
https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad/blob/0dd3c1f53d56dffb06651b86ead6b9b387920173/www/common/jscolor.js#L65-L71
Impact
Sanitizer bypass, HTML injection and potentially XSS.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-08-11 19:00 – Updated: 2023-08-11 19:00Impact
OpenZeppelin Contracts is a library for secure smart contract development. Starting in version 4.0.0 and prior to version 4.9.3, contracts using ERC2771Context along with a custom trusted forwarder may see _msgSender return address(0) in calls that originate from the forwarder with calldata shorter than 20 bytes. This combination of circumstances does not appear to be common, in particular it is not the case for MinimalForwarder from OpenZeppelin Contracts, or any deployed forwarder the team is aware of, given that the signer address is appended to all calls that originate from these forwarders.

The problem has been patched in v4.9.3.

GHSA-G67G-HVC3-XMVF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-10-14 21:19 – Updated: 2024-10-08 12:42Background
A variety of templates do not perform proper sanitization through HTML escaping.
Due to the lack of sanitization and use of jQuery.html(), there are a whole host of XSS possibilities with specially crafted input to a variety of fields.
Impact
OMERO.web before 5.11.0 and OMERO.figure before 4.4.1.
Patches
Users should upgrade OMERO.web to 5.11.0 or higher and OMERO.figure to 4.4.1 or higher.

Mitigation MIT-4.3
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using the ESAPI Encoding control [REF-45] or a similar tool, library, or framework. These will help the programmer encode outputs in a manner less prone to error.
- Alternately, use built-in functions, but consider using wrappers in case those functions are discovered to have a vulnerability.
Mitigation MIT-27
Strategy: Parameterization
- If available, use structured mechanisms that automatically enforce the separation between data and code. These mechanisms may be able to provide the relevant quoting, encoding, and validation automatically, instead of relying on the developer to provide this capability at every point where output is generated.
- For example, stored procedures can enforce database query structure and reduce the likelihood of SQL injection.
Mitigation
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages. Study all expected communication protocols and data representations to determine the required encoding strategies.
Mitigation
In some cases, input validation may be an important strategy when output encoding is not a complete solution. For example, you may be providing the same output that will be processed by multiple consumers that use different encodings or representations. In other cases, you may be required to allow user-supplied input to contain control information, such as limited HTML tags that support formatting in a wiki or bulletin board. When this type of requirement must be met, use an extremely strict allowlist to limit which control sequences can be used. Verify that the resulting syntactic structure is what you expect. Use your normal encoding methods for the remainder of the input.
Mitigation
Use input validation as a defense-in-depth measure to reduce the likelihood of output encoding errors (see CWE-20).
Mitigation
Fully specify which encodings are required by components that will be communicating with each other.
Mitigation
When exchanging data between components, ensure that both components are using the same character encoding. Ensure that the proper encoding is applied at each interface. Explicitly set the encoding you are using whenever the protocol allows you to do so.
CAPEC-104: Cross Zone Scripting
An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security.
CAPEC-73: User-Controlled Filename
An attack of this type involves an adversary inserting malicious characters (such as a XSS redirection) into a filename, directly or indirectly that is then used by the target software to generate HTML text or other potentially executable content. Many websites rely on user-generated content and dynamically build resources like files, filenames, and URL links directly from user supplied data. In this attack pattern, the attacker uploads code that can execute in the client browser and/or redirect the client browser to a site that the attacker owns. All XSS attack payload variants can be used to pass and exploit these vulnerabilities.
CAPEC-81: Web Server Logs Tampering
Web Logs Tampering attacks involve an attacker injecting, deleting or otherwise tampering with the contents of web logs typically for the purposes of masking other malicious behavior. Additionally, writing malicious data to log files may target jobs, filters, reports, and other agents that process the logs in an asynchronous attack pattern. This pattern of attack is similar to "Log Injection-Tampering-Forging" except that in this case, the attack is targeting the logs of the web server and not the application.
CAPEC-85: AJAX Footprinting
This attack utilizes the frequent client-server roundtrips in Ajax conversation to scan a system. While Ajax does not open up new vulnerabilities per se, it does optimize them from an attacker point of view. A common first step for an attacker is to footprint the target environment to understand what attacks will work. Since footprinting relies on enumeration, the conversational pattern of rapid, multiple requests and responses that are typical in Ajax applications enable an attacker to look for many vulnerabilities, well-known ports, network locations and so on. The knowledge gained through Ajax fingerprinting can be used to support other attacks, such as XSS.
