Cross-Site Scripting in shave

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 29, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 9, 2023

Package

npm shave (npm)

Affected versions

< 2.5.3

Patched versions

2.5.3

Description

Versions of shave prior to 2.5.3 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The shave package overwrites HTML elements and in doing so fails to properly encode the output. If encoded HTML input is passed into shave the output will be decoded which may lead to Cross-Site Scripting.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 2.5.3 or later.
