SCA: security update for typo3/html-sanitizer (GHSA-59jf-3q9v-rh6g)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410737

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - TYPO3 HTML Sanitizer is an HTML sanitizer, written in PHP, aiming to provide cross-site-scripting-safe
 markup based on explicitly allowed tags, attributes and values. Starting in version 1.0.0 and prior to
 versions 1.5.1 and 2.1.2, due to an encoding issue in the serialization layer, malicious markup nested in
 a `noscript` element was not encoded correctly. `noscript` is disabled in the default configuration, but
 might have been enabled in custom scenarios. This allows bypassing the cross-site scripting mechanism of
 TYPO3 HTML Sanitizer. Versions 1.5.1 and 2.1.2 fix the problem. (CVE-2023-38500)
