Vulnerability

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Description

AntiSamy is a library for performing fast, configurable cleansing of HTML coming from untrusted sources. Prior to 1.7.5, there is a potential for a mutation XSS (mXSS) vulnerability in AntiSamy caused by flawed parsing of the HTML being sanitized. To be subject to this vulnerability the preserveComments directive must be enabled in your policy file. As a result, certain crafty inputs can result in elements in comment tags being interpreted as executable when using AntiSamy's sanitized output. Patched in AntiSamy 1.7.5 and later.

Affected Versions

All versions up to 1.7.4

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.7.5 or above.
