SCA: security update for trix (GHSA-qm2q-9f3q-2vcv)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418194
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- The Trix editor, versions prior to 2.1.4, is vulnerable to XSS when pasting malicious code. This
vulnerability is a bypass of the fix put in place for GHSA-qjqp-xr96-cj99. In pull request 1149,
sanitation was added for Trix attachments with a `text/html` content type. However, Trix only checks the
content type on the paste event's `dataTransfer` object. As long as the `dataTransfer` has a content type
of `text/html`, Trix parses its contents and creates an `Attachment` with them, even if the attachment
itself doesn't have a `text/html` content type. Trix then uses the attachment content to set the
attachment element's `innerHTML`. An attacker could trick a user to copy and paste malicious code that
would execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the user's session, potentially leading to
unauthorized actions being performed or sensitive information being disclosed. This vulnerability was
fixed in version 2.1.4. (CVE-2024-43368)
