Vulnerability from github – Published: 2018-11-09 17:46 – Updated: 2023-09-08 23:59

Summary

Cross-Site Scripting in i18next

Details

Affected versions of i18next allow untrusted user input to be injected into dictionary key names, resulting in a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Proof of Concept

var init = i18n.init({debug: true}, function(){
  var test = i18n.t('__firstName__ __lastName__', {
        escapeInterpolation: true,
        firstName: '__lastNameHTML__',
        lastName: '<script>',
  });
  console.log(test);
});
// equals "<script> &lt;script&gt;"

Recommendation

Update to version 1.10.3 or later.

Severity

6.1 (Medium)

CVE-2017-16008 (GCVE-0-2017-16008)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-06-04 19:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 17:53

Summary

i18next is a language translation framework. Because of how the interpolation is implemented, making replacements from the dictionary one at a time, untrusted user input can use the name of one of the dictionary keys to inject script into the browser. This affects i18next <=1.10.2.

Severity

No CVSS data available.
