FKIE_CVE-2025-46734

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-05-05 20:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:26
Summary
league/commonmark is a PHP Markdown parser. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Attributes extension of the league/commonmark library (versions 1.5.0 through 2.6.x) allows remote attackers to insert malicious JavaScript calls into HTML. The league/commonmark library provides configuration options such as `html_input: 'strip'` and `allow_unsafe_links: false` to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by stripping raw HTML and disallowing unsafe links. However, when the Attributes Extension is enabled, it introduces a way for users to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into elements via Markdown syntax using curly braces. Version 2.7.0 contains three changes to prevent this XSS attack vector: All attributes starting with `on` are considered unsafe and blocked by default; support for an explicit allowlist of allowed HTML attributes; and manually-added `href` and `src` attributes now respect the existing `allow_unsafe_links` configuration option. If upgrading is not feasible, please consider disabling the `AttributesExtension` for untrusted users and/or filtering the rendered HTML through a library like HTMLPurifier.

Una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) en la extensi\u00f3n Attributes de la librer\u00eda league/commonmark (versiones 1.5.0 a 2.6.x) permite a atacantes remotos insertar llamadas JavaScript maliciosas en HTML. La librer\u00eda league/commonmark ofrece opciones de configuraci\u00f3n como `html_input: \u0027strip\u0027` y `allow_unsafe_links: false` para mitigar los ataques de cross-site scripting (XSS) eliminando HTML sin formato y deshabilitando enlaces no seguros. Sin embargo, al habilitar la extensi\u00f3n Attributes, los usuarios pueden inyectar atributos HTML arbitrarios en elementos mediante la sintaxis Markdown, utilizando llaves. La versi\u00f3n 2.7.0 incluye tres cambios para prevenir este vector de ataque XSS: todos los atributos que empiezan por `on` se consideran no seguros y se bloquean por defecto; se admite una lista expl\u00edcita de atributos HTML permitidos; y los atributos `href` y `src` a\u00f1adidos manualmente ahora respetan la opci\u00f3n de configuraci\u00f3n `allow_unsafe_links`. Si la actualizaci\u00f3n no es posible, considere deshabilitar `AttributesExtension` para usuarios no confiables y/o filtrar el HTML renderizado a trav\u00e9s de una librer\u00eda como HTMLPurifier."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
