Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 23, 2018 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated May 1, 2023

Package

npm @ckeditor/ckeditor5-link (npm)

Affected versions

>= 0.3.0, < 10.0.1

Patched versions

10.0.1

Description

Versions of status-board prior to 10.0.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The _createPreviewButton() function fails to sanitize the href attribute of a created <a> tag. This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.
