Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module.
Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and 0.9.11, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier,
Document.createElement(tagName) stores an unvalidated element name and XMLSerializer.serializeToString()
emits that name verbatim. The requireWellFormed: true path did not validate the element qualified name or
synthesized xmlns:PREFIX declaration, so attacker-controlled tag names could inject attributes, elements,
or processing instructions into serialized XML or HTML and could cause cross-site scripting when browser-
consumed. The unchecked values violate the XML QName constraint, and default serialization and creation-
time createElement() behavior remain permissive. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and
0.9.11; no fixed version is available for xmldom. (CVE-2026-83607)
Solution
Update the gitlab-rails-ce-fips-19.0 library and its related packages to version 19.0.9-r3 or later.
