SCA: security update for suneditor (GHSA-w93q-cq9w-58p7)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446368
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- SunEditor is a lightweight and powerful WYSIWYG editor in vanilla JavaScript with no dependencies. Prior
to 3.1.4, the SunEditor Embed plugin in src/plugins/modal/embed.js parses attacker-controlled raw embed
HTML with DOMParser and processes the resulting DOM nodes. When an external script element follows a valid
iframe, the plugin recreates a script element from the attacker-controlled src attribute and appends it to
the live DOM, causing JavaScript execution in the editor page. If an application stores or reflects
SunEditor content without additional backend sanitization, an attacker who can submit embed HTML can
trigger stored or reflected cross-site scripting when another user opens, previews, renders, or edits the
content, enabling access to page data and account actions as the victim. This issue is fixed in version
3.1.4. (CVE-2026-54606)
Solution
Update the suneditor library and its related packages to version 3.1.4 or later.See Also
