{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2022-39353","details":"xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` module. xmldom parses XML that is not well-formed because it contains multiple top level elements, and adds all root nodes to the `childNodes` collection of the `Document`, without reporting any error or throwing. This breaks the assumption that there is only a single root node in the tree, which led to issuance of CVE-2022-39299 as it is a potential issue for dependents. Update to @xmldom/xmldom@~0.7.7, @xmldom/xmldom@~0.8.4 (dist-tag latest) or @xmldom/xmldom@\u003e=0.9.0-beta.4 (dist-tag next). As a workaround, please one of the following approaches depending on your use case: instead of searching for elements in the whole DOM, only search in the `documentElement`or reject a document with a document that has more then 1 `childNode`.","modified":"2026-01-30T01:29:24.905686Z","published":"2022-11-02T17:15:00Z","related":["USN-6102-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2022-39353"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-39353"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/jindw/xmldom/issues/150"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/security/advisories/GHSA-crh6-fp67-6883"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6102-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-39353"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom@0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2build0.20.04.1?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2build0.20.04.1"}]}],"versions":["0.1.27+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-xmldom","binary_version":"0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2build0.20.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-39353.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom@0.7.5-1ubuntu0.22.04.1?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.7.5-1ubuntu0.22.04.1"}]}],"versions":["0.5.0-1","0.7.3-1","0.7.5-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-xmldom","binary_version":"0.7.5-1ubuntu0.22.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-39353.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom@0.8.6-1?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.8.6-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-xmldom","binary_version":"0.8.6-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-39353.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom@0.9.6-1?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.6-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-xmldom","binary_version":"0.9.6-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2022/UBUNTU-CVE-2022-39353.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
