CKEditor5 cross-site scripting vulnerability caused by the editor instance destroying process
Affected packages
@ckeditor/ckeditor5-markdown-gfm @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-support @ckeditor/ckeditor5-html-embed
Impact
A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been discovered affecting three optional CKEditor 5's packages. The vulnerability allowed to trigger a JavaScript code after fulfilling special conditions:
a) Using one of the affected packages. In case of ckeditor5-html-support and ckeditor5-html-embed, additionally, it was required to use a configuration that allows unsafe markup inside the editor,
b) Initializing the editor on an element and using an element other than <textarea> as a base,
c) Destroying the editor instance.
The root cause of the issue was a mechanism responsible for updating the source element with the markup coming from the CKEditor 5 data pipeline after destroying the editor.
This vulnerability might affect a small percent of integrators that depend on dynamic editor initialization/destroy and use Markdown, General HTML Support or HTML embed features.
Patches
The problem has been recognized and patched. The fix will be available in version 35.0.1.
