A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in: the core parser, paste
and visualchars
plugins. The vulnerability allowed arbitrary JavaScript execution when inserting a specially crafted piece of content into the editor via the clipboard or APIs. This impacts all users who are using TinyMCE 4.9.6 or lower and TinyMCE 5.1.3 or lower.
This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 4.9.7 and 5.1.4 by improved parser logic and HTML sanitization.
The workarounds available are:
BeforeSetContent
event (see below)editor.on('BeforeSetContent', function(e) {
var sanitizedContent = ...; // Manually sanitize content here
e.content = sanitizedContent;
});
Tiny Technologies would like to thank MichaΕ Bentkowski for discovering this vulnerability.
