What is CVE-2022-36020?

The typo3/html-sanitizer package is an HTML sanitizer, written in PHP, aiming to provide XSS-safe markup based on explicitly allowed tags, attributes and values. Due to a parsing issue in the upstream package masterminds/html5, malicious markup used in a sequence with special HTML comments cannot be filtered and sanitized. This allows for a bypass of the cross-site scripting mechanism of typo3/html-sanitizer. This issue has been addressed in versions 1.0.7 and 2.0.16 of the typo3/html-sanitizer package. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Affected Version(s)

html-sanitizer >= 1.0.0, < 1.0.7 < 1.0.0, 1.0.7

html-sanitizer >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.16 < 2.0.0, 2.0.16
