{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83610","details":"xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module. Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and 0.9.12, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier, Document.createEntityReference(name) accepts an invalid name and the ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE serializer emits the resulting nodeName directly in &name; form. Directly serializing the node or fragment with XMLSerializer.serializeToString() and requireWellFormed: true can therefore break the entity-reference boundary and produce attacker-controlled XML markup when reparsed. The parser does not ordinarily create these nodes, and element-child insertion is rejected, so exploitation requires an application to create and directly serialize an EntityReference. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.15 and 0.9.12; no fixed version is available for xmldom.","modified":"2026-09-16T14:02:37.305282197Z","published":"2026-09-01T15:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-83610"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-83610"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-83610"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/security/advisories/GHSA-6gmq-8vp8-gcm6"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/1071"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/pull/1072"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.1.27+ds-1","0.1.27+ds-1+deb10u2build0.20.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"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/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83610.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.5.0-1","0.7.3-1","0.7.5-1","0.7.5-1ubuntu0.22.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"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/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83610.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom?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/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83610.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-xmldom","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/node-xmldom?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.9.6-1","0.9.8-1","0.9.8-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.9.8-2","binary_name":"node-xmldom"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-83610.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
