Affected: Packagist: tinymce/tinymce, npm: tinymce, NuGet: TinyMCE

### Impact A [cross-site scripting (XSS)](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/) vulnerability was discovered in TinyMCE’s content loading and content inserting code. A SVG image could be loaded though an `object` or `embed` element and that image could potentially contain a XSS payload.

### Fix TinyMCE 6.8.1 introduced a new `convert_unsafe_embeds` option to automatically convert `object` and `embed` elements respective of their `type` attribute. From TinyMCE 7.0.0 onwards, the `convert_unsafe_embeds` option is enabled by default.

### Workarounds If you are using TinyMCE 6.8.1 or higher, set `convert_unsafe_embeds` to true. For any earlier versions, a custom NodeFilter is recommended to remove or modify any `object` or `embed` elements. This can be added using the `editor.parser.addNodeFilter` and `editor.serializer.addNodeFilter` APIs.

### Acknowledgements Tiny Technologies would like to thank Toni Huttunen of [Fraktal Oy](https://www.fraktal.fi/) for discovering this vulnerability.
