RHSA-2026:27944
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-06-22 14:36 - Updated: 2026-11-07 05:51A flaw was found in DOMPurify, a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer. A remote attacker could exploit an inconsistency in how forbidden tags and attributes are handled when function-based tag additions are used. This allows malicious HTML, MathML, or SVG elements to bypass sanitization and execute arbitrary code in the user's browser, leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

A flaw was found in Axios, a promise-based HTTP client. This vulnerability involves prototype pollution gadgets in the request configuration processing. If another vulnerability has already polluted the Object.prototype.transformResponse, affected Axios versions may incorrectly interpret this inherited value as part of the request configuration or as an option validator. Axios does not itself create the prototype pollution. Exploitability requires a separate prototype-pollution vulnerability or equivalent attacker control over Object.prototype before Axios creates a request.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

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.
