{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41240","details":"DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. Versions prior to 3.4.0 have an inconsistency between FORBID_TAGS and FORBID_ATTR handling when function-based ADD_TAGS is used. Commit c361baa added an early exit for FORBID_ATTR at line 1214. The same fix was not applied to FORBID_TAGS. At line 1118-1123, when EXTRA_ELEMENT_HANDLING.tagCheck returns true, the short-circuit evaluation skips the FORBID_TAGS check entirely. This allows forbidden elements to survive sanitization with their attributes intact. Version 3.4.0 patches the issue.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:12:58.843414210Z","published":"2026-04-23T16:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-41240"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-41240"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-41240"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/security/advisories/GHSA-h7mw-gpvr-xq4m"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-dompurify","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-dompurify?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.3.0+dfsg-2","2.3.3+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-dompurify","binary_version":"2.3.3+dfsg-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41240.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-dompurify","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-dompurify?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.4.1+dfsg+~2.4.0-1","3.0.9+dfsg+~3.0.5-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-dompurify","binary_version":"3.0.9+dfsg+~3.0.5-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41240.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-dompurify","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-dompurify?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.7+dfsg+~3.0.5-1","3.1.7+dfsg+~3.0.5-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-dompurify","binary_version":"3.1.7+dfsg+~3.0.5-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41240.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-dompurify","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-dompurify?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.1.7+dfsg+~3.0.5-2","3.3.3+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"node-dompurify","binary_version":"3.3.3+dfsg-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-41240.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
