SCA: security update for sanitize (GHSA-fw3g-2h3j-qmm7)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414721
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Sanitize is an allowlist-based HTML and CSS sanitizer. Versions 5.0.0 and later, prior to 6.0.1, are
vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting. When Sanitize is configured with a custom allowlist that allows
`noscript` elements, attackers are able to include arbitrary HTML, resulting in XSS (cross-site scripting)
or other undesired behavior when that HTML is rendered in a browser. The default configurations do not
allow `noscript` elements and are not vulnerable. This issue only affects users who are using a custom
config that adds `noscript` to the element allowlist. This issue has been patched in version 6.0.1. Users
who are unable to upgrade can prevent this issue by using one of Sanitize's default configs or by ensuring
that their custom config does not include `noscript` in the element allowlist. (CVE-2023-23627)
