Details

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.
