[GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4](https://redirect.github.com/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4) <details> <summary>More information</summary> #### Details ##### Summary There is a possible hook-policy inconsistency in DOMPurify 3.4.11 involving `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING`. When a custom element is allowed via `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck`, it appears that the element does not go through `afterSanitizeElements` in the same way as a normal element. As a result, an application that relies on `afterSanitizeElements` as a security policy layer to strip sensitive attributes from all elements may see those attributes removed from normal elements but preserved on allowed custom elements. This does not appear to be a direct DOMPurify XSS or a case where DOMPurify directly allows executable payloads. The preserved value is still inert at sanitize time. The issue becomes relevant when the allowed custom element later re-injects that attribute value into an HTML sink such as `innerHTML`, creating a second-order XSS gadget. ##### Details The issue appears to originate from the control flow in `src/purify.ts`: line 1672~1691 ```tsx const _sanitizeDisallowedNode = function ( currentNode: any, tagName: string ): boolean { /* Check if we have a custom element to handle */ if (!FORBID_TAGS[tagName] && _isBasicCustomElement(tagName)) { if ( CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck instanceof RegExp && regExpTest(CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck, tagName) ) { return false; } if ( CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck instanceof Function && CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck(tagName) ) { return false; } } ``` `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING` is parsed from user configuration at `src/purify.ts`: line 741~748 ```tsx const customElementHandling = objectHasOwnProperty(cfg, 'CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING') && cfg.CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING && typeof cfg.CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING === 'object' ? clone(cfg.CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING) : create(null); CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING = create(null); ``` In particular, `tagNameCheck`, `attributeNameCheck`, and `allowCustomizedBuiltInElements` are copied into the internal `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING` object there. During element sanitization, `_sanitizeElements()` checks whether a node is forbidden or not allowlisted at `src/purify.ts`: line 1805~1814 ```tsx /* Remove element if anything forbids its presence */ if ( FORBID_TAGS[tagName] || (!( EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagCheck instanceof Function && EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagCheck(tagName) ) && !ALLOWED_TAGS[tagName]) ) { return _sanitizeDisallowedNode(currentNode, tagName); } ``` If so, it immediately delegates to `_sanitizeDisallowedNode(currentNode, tagName)` and returns its boolean result. Inside `_sanitizeDisallowedNode()`, the custom-element-specific allow path is implemented at `src/purify.ts`: line 1672~1692 ```tsx const _sanitizeDisallowedNode = function ( currentNode: any, tagName: string ): boolean { /* Check if we have a custom element to handle */ if (!FORBID_TAGS[tagName] && _isBasicCustomElement(tagName)) { if ( CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck instanceof RegExp && regExpTest(CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck, tagName) ) { return false; } if ( CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck instanceof Function && CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck(tagName) ) { return false; } } ``` If the node is treated as a basic custom element and `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck` matches, the function returns `false` immediately at line 1682 or 1689, meaning “do not remove this node”. That early `return false` is significant because control returns directly to `_sanitizeElements()` via the `return _sanitizeDisallowedNode(...)` at line 1813. As a result, the later logic in `_sanitizeElements()` is skipped for that custom element instance, including: - the namespace validation at `src/purify.ts`: line 1816~1826 ```tsx * Check whether element has a valid namespace. Realm-safe check (GHSA-hpcv-96wg-7vj8): use the cached Node.prototype nodeType getter rather than `instanceof Element`, which is realm- bound and short-circuits to false for any node minted in a different realm — letting a foreign-realm element with a forbidden namespace slip past the namespace check entirely. */ const nt = getNodeType ? getNodeType(currentNode) : currentNode.nodeType; if (nt === NODE_TYPE.element && !_checkValidNamespace(currentNode)) { _forceRemove(currentNode); return true; } ``` - the fallback-tag mXSS check at `src/purify.ts`: line 1828~1837 ```tsx /* Make sure that older browsers don't get fallback-tag mXSS */ if ( (tagName === 'noscript' || tagName === 'noembed' || tagName === 'noframes') && regExpTest(EXPRESSIONS.FALLBACK_TAG_CLOSE, currentNode.innerHTML) ) { _forceRemove(currentNode); return true; } ``` - most importantly for this report, the `afterSanitizeElements` hook dispatch at `src/purify.ts`: line 1850~1851. ```tsx /* Execute a hook if present */ _executeHooks(hooks.afterSanitizeElements, currentNode, null); ``` In other words, a normal allowlisted element continues through `_sanitizeElements()` and reaches `hooks.afterSanitizeElements`, but a disallowed-by-default element that is revived by the `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagNameCheck` path does not. This creates a policy inconsistency: an application that relies on `afterSanitizeElements` to remove an attribute from all elements will observe that the policy is applied to normal elements but not to custom elements allowed through `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING`. In the PoC, the application hook removes `data-bio` from ordinary elements, but the same attribute remains on `<x-bio>` because the custom-element keep path bypasses `afterSanitizeElements`. The attribute itself is inert at sanitize time and DOMPurify is not directly allowing executable SVG/HTML through. The security impact appears when the application-defined custom element later reads the preserved `data-bio` value in `connectedCallback()` and writes it to `innerHTML`, turning the preserved attribute into a second-order XSS gadget. ##### PoC Reproduced on DOMPurify 3.4.11. ##### Steps 1. Save the following HTML to a file, for example `poc.html`. 2. Open it in a browser. 3. Observe that the `div` control loses `data-bio`, while the allowed custom element keeps it. 4. Observe that after `connectedCallback()` runs, the candidate payload is reinserted into the DOM and executes through the custom element’s own sink. ##### HTML PoC ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dompurify/3.4.11/purify.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <pre id="result"></pre> <script> window.__controlFired = false; window.__candidateFired = false; customElements.define("x-bio", class extends HTMLElement { connectedCallback() { const bio = this.getAttribute("data-bio"); if (bio) this.innerHTML = bio; } }); DOMPurify.addHook("afterSanitizeElements", node => { if (node.hasAttribute && node.hasAttribute("data-bio")) { node.removeAttribute("data-bio"); } }); const config = { CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING: { tagNameCheck: /^x-/ } }; const controlInput = '<div data-bio="<img src=x onerror=window.__controlFired=true>"></div>'; const candidateInput = '<x-bio data-bio="<img src=x onerror=window.__candidateFired=true>"></x-bio>'; const cleanControl = DOMPurify.sanitize(controlInput, config); const cleanCandidate = DOMPurify.sanitize(candidateInput, config); const container = document.createElement("div"); container.innerHTML = cleanCandidate; document.body.appendChild(container); setTimeout(() => { document.getElementById("result").textContent = "This is not direct DOMPurify XSS.\n" + "The payload becomes executable only after x-bio writes data-bio into innerHTML.\n\n" + "control: " + cleanControl + "\n" + "candidate: " + cleanCandidate + "\n" + "after connectedCallback: " + container.innerHTML + "\n" + "control fired: " + window.__controlFired + "\n" + "candidate fired: " + window.__candidateFired; }, 100); </script> </body> </html> ``` ##### Expected result ``` control: <div></div> candidate: <x-bio data-bio="<img src=x onerror=window.__candidateFired=true>"></x-bio> after connectedCallback: <x-bio data-bio="..."><img src="x" onerror="window.__candidateFired=true"></x-bio> control fired: false candidate fired: true ``` This is output of HTML PoC. <img width="1917" height="961" alt="poc" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/80e22989-5779-42f8-8ffb-106e9a4c2b10" /> ##### Impact This does not appear to affect DOMPurify’s default configuration as a direct sanitizer bypass. The impact is limited to applications that: - enable `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING`, - rely on `afterSanitizeElements` as a security policy layer, - expect that hook to apply uniformly to all surviving elements, - and have allowed custom elements that later re-inject preserved attribute values into `innerHTML` or another HTML sink. In that situation, the behavior can become a second-order XSS gadget because a security-relevant attribute is removed from normal elements but remains on allowed custom elements. Possible fixes or mitigations might include - ensuring that allowed custom elements also consistently pass through `afterSanitizeElements` - documenting clearly that elements preserved via `CUSTOM_ELEMENT_HANDLING` may not participate in the same post-element hook flow as normal allowlisted elements. #### Severity - CVSS Score: 2.1 / 10 (Low) - Vector String: `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N` #### References - [https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/security/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/security/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4) - [https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/pull/1537](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/pull/1537) - [https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/commit/a9ca1e537422319a557a9a2aa61f003b23b4a197](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/commit/a9ca1e537422319a557a9a2aa61f003b23b4a197) - [https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/releases/tag/3.4.12](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/releases/tag/3.4.12) - [https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4](https://redirect.github.com/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4) This data is provided by the [GitHub Advisory Database](https://redirect.github.com/advisories/GHSA-c2j3-45gr-mqc4) ([CC-BY 4.0](https://redirect.github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/LICENSE.md)). </details> --- ### Release Notes <details> <summary>cure53/DOMPurify (dompurify)</summary> ### [`v3.4.12`](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/releases/tag/3.4.12): DOMPurify 3.4.12 [Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/compare/3.4.11...3.4.12) - Fixed an issue where a hook would not get called for custom elements, thanks [@​Rikuxx0](https://redirect.github.com/Rikuxx0) - Hardened the handling of hooks removing elements, [@​mkrause-bee360](https://redirect.github.com/mkrause-bee360) - Added support for a few new SVG attributes, thanks [@​cbn-falias](https://redirect.github.com/cbn-falias) & [@​Develop-KIM](https://redirect.github.com/Develop-KIM) - Hardened the handling of declarative partial updates - Updated the documentation is several spots, README, wiki, etc. - Bumped several dependencies where possible </details> --- ### Configuration 📅 **Schedule**: (UTC) - Branch creation - At any time (no schedule defined) - Automerge - At any time (no schedule defined) 🚦 **Automerge**: Disabled by config.

What is AFFiNE
AFFiNE is an open-source, all-in-one workspace and an operating system for all the building blocks that assemble your knowledge base and much more -- wiki, knowledge management, presentation and digital assets. It's a better alternative to Notion and Miro.
Features
A true canvas for blocks in any form. Docs and whiteboard are now fully merged.
- Many editor apps claim to be a canvas for productivity, but AFFiNE is one of the very few which allows you to put any building block on an edgeless canvas -- rich text, sticky notes, any embedded web pages, multi-view databases, linked pages, shapes and even slides. We have it all.
Multimodal AI partner ready to kick in any work
- Write up professional work report? Turn an outline into expressive and presentable slides? Summary an article into a well-structured mindmap? Sorting your job plan and backlog for tasks? Or... draw and code prototype apps and web pages directly all with one prompt? With you, AFFiNE AI pushes your creativity to the edge of your imagination, just like Canvas AI to generate mind map for brainstorming.
Local-first & Real-time collaborative
- We love the idea of local-first that you always own your data on your disk, in spite of the cloud. Furthermore, AFFiNE supports real-time sync and collaborations on web and cross-platform clients.
Self-host & Shape your own AFFiNE
- You have the freedom to manage, self-host, fork and build your own AFFiNE. Plugin community and third-party blocks are coming soon. More tractions on Blocksuite. Check there to learn how to self-host AFFiNE.
Acknowledgement
“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”. A lot of pioneers have inspired us along the way, e.g.:
- Quip & Notion with their great concept of “everything is a block”
- Trello with their Kanban
- Airtable & Miro with their no-code programmable datasheets
- Miro & Whimiscal with their edgeless visual whiteboard
- Remote & Capacities with their object-based tag system
There is a large overlap of their atomic “building blocks” between these apps. They are not open source, nor do they have a plugin system like Vscode for contributors to customize. We want to have something that contains all the features we love and also goes one step even further.
Thanks for checking us out, we appreciate your interest and sincerely hope that AFFiNE resonates with you! 🎵 Checking https://affine.pro/ for more details ions.
