CVE Descriptions

justhtml versions <= 1.11.0 (fixed in 1.12.0) do not sufficiently escape HTML-significant characters (angle brackets) in text nodes when converting a parsed document to Markdown via to_markdown(). While a small set of Markdown metacharacters are escaped, characters such as < and > are preserved, so untrusted input that is safe in to_html() — including entity-decoded text (e.g. <script>) or text from RCDATA/RAWTEXT-parsed elements like , <textarea>, <noscript>, and <plaintext> — can be emitted as raw HTML in the Markdown output, enabling a sanitizer bypass and potential cross-site scripting when that output is rendered. </div> </div> <div class="card card-flush py-4"> <div class="card-header"> <div class="card-title"> <h2>CVE Informations</h2> </div> </div> <div class="card-body pt-0"> <h2 class="tw-h3">Related Weaknesses</h2> <div class="table-responsive"> <table class="table table-striped gy-7 gs-7"> <thead> <tr class="fw-semibold fs-6 text-gray-800 border-bottom border-gray-200"> <th><nobr>CWE-ID</nobr></th> <th>Weakness Name</th> <th>Source</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><nobr><a href="/en/cwe/cwe-79.html">CWE-79</a></nobr></td> <td><b>Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')</b><br>The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.</td> <td></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="separator my-10"></div> <h3>Metrics</h3> <div class="table-responsive"> <table class="table table-striped gy-7 gs-7"> <thead> <tr class="fw-semibold fs-6 text-gray-800 border-bottom border-gray-200"> <th>Metrics</th> <th>Score</th> <th>Severity</th> <th>CVSS Vector</th> <th>Source</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>V3.1</td> <td>9.8</td> <td>CRITICAL</td> <td> CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H <div class="m-0"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center collapsible toggle mb-0 collapsed" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#metric-178752155754767" aria-expanded="false"> <div class="btn btn-sm btn-icon mw-20px btn-active-color-primary me-5"> <i class="ki-duotone ki-minus-square toggle-on text-primary fs-4"> <span class="path1"></span> <span class="path2"></span> </i> <i class="ki-duotone ki-plus-square toggle-off fs-4"> <span class="path1"></span> <span class="path2"></span> <span class="path3"></span> </i> </div> <span class="text-gray-700 cursor-pointer mb-0">More informations</span> </div> <div id="metric-178752155754767" class="fs-7 ms-1 collapse" style=""> <div class="mb-4"> <div class="d-flex align-items-center ps-10 mb-n1"> <div class="text-gray-600 fs-7"> <h4 style='background-color: white; border: 1px solid gray; padding: 5px;'>Base: Exploitabilty Metrics</h4><p>The Exploitability metrics reflect the characteristics of the thing that is vulnerable, which we refer to formally as the vulnerable component.</p><div class='tw-h5' style='padding-left:10px'>Attack Vector</div><p style='padding-left:10px'>This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible.</p><div style='display:flex;padding-left:10px;'><div style='width:70px;'><p style='text-align: center;background-color: black;color:white;'>Network</p></div><div style='flex: 1;margin-left:5px;'><p>The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet.

All the subjects and objects under the jurisdiction of a single security authority are considered to be under one security scope. If a vulnerability in a vulnerable component can affect a component which is in a different security scope than the vulnerable component, a Scope change occurs. Intuitively, whenever the impact of a vulnerability breaches a security/trust boundary and impacts components outside the security scope in which vulnerable component resides, a Scope change occurs.</p><div style='display:flex;padding-left:10px;'><div style='width:70px;'><p style='text-align: center;background-color: black;color:white;'>Unchanged</p></div><div style='flex: 1;margin-left:5px;'><p>An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.</p></div></div><h4 style='background-color: white; border: 1px solid gray; padding: 5px;'>Base: Impact Metrics</h4><p>The Impact metrics capture the effects of a successfully exploited vulnerability on the component that suffers the worst outcome that is most directly and predictably associated with the attack. Analysts should constrain impacts to a reasonable, final outcome which they are confident an attacker is able to achieve.</p><div class='tw-h5' style='padding-left:10px'>Confidentiality Impact</div><p style='padding-left:10px'>This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited vulnerability.</p><div style='display:flex;padding-left:10px;'><div style='width:70px;'><p style='text-align: center;background-color: black;color:white;'>High</p></div><div style='flex: 1;margin-left:5px;'><p>There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.</p></div></div><div class='tw-h5' style='padding-left:10px'>Integrity Impact</div><p style='padding-left:10px'>This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information.</p><div style='display:flex;padding-left:10px;'><div style='width:70px;'><p style='text-align: center;background-color: black;color:white;'>High</p></div><div style='flex: 1;margin-left:5px;'><p>There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.</p></div></div><div class='tw-h5' style='padding-left:10px'>Availability Impact</div><p style='padding-left:10px'>This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability.</p><div style='display:flex;padding-left:10px;'><div style='width:70px;'><p style='text-align: center;background-color: black;color:white;'>High</p></div><div style='flex: 1;margin-left:5px;'><p>There is a total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).</p></div></div><h4 style='background-color: white; border: 1px solid gray; padding: 5px;'>Temporal Metrics</h4><p>The Temporal metrics measure the current state of exploit techniques or code availability, the existence of any patches or workarounds, or the confidence in the description of a vulnerability.</p><h4 style='background-color: white; border: 1px solid gray; padding: 5px;'>Environmental Metrics</h4><p>These metrics enable the analyst to customize the CVSS score depending on the importance of the affected IT asset to a user’s organization, measured in terms of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </td> <td>disclosure@vulncheck.com</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="separator my-10"></div> <h2 class='tw-h3'>References</h2><div style='margin-bottom: 10px;'><a href='https://github.com/EmilStenstrom/justhtml/security/advisories/GHSA-3rcm-vjrc-p45j' target='_blank'>https://github.com/EmilStenstrom/justhtml/security/advisories/GHSA-3rcm-vjrc-p45j <i class="ki-duotone ki-exit-right-corner" style="font-size: 10px;vertical-align:8px"><span class="path1"></span><span class="path2"></span></i></a><br></div><div style='margin-bottom: 10px;'><a href='https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/justhtml-before-sanitizer-bypass-via-markdown' target='_blank'>https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/justhtml-before-sanitizer-bypass-via-markdown <i class="ki-duotone ki-exit-right-corner" style="font-size: 10px;vertical-align:8px"><span class="path1"></span><span class="path2"></span></i></a><br></div><div class="separator my-10"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!--end::Container--> <!--begin::Footer--> <div class="footer py-4 d-flex flex-lg-column" id="kt_footer"> <div class="container-xxl d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center justify-content-between"> <div class="text-gray-900 order-2 order-md-1"> <span class="text-muted fw-semibold me-1">2026©</span> <a href="https://www.tesweb.com" target="_blank" class="text-gray-800 text-hover-primary">tesweb SA</a>, <a href="https://www.bexxo.ch" target="_blank" class="text-gray-800 text-hover-primary">bexxo Cyber Security</a> </div> <ul class="menu menu-gray-600 menu-hover-primary fw-semibold order-1"> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="/en/official.html" class="menu-link px-2">Database Partners</a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="/en/gdpr.html" class="menu-link px-2">GDPR</a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="/en/contact.html" class="menu-link px-2">Contact</a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="/en/plan-price.html" class="menu-link px-2">Purchase</a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/cve-find/" class="menu-link px-2" target="_blank"><img src="/media/social/linkedin.svg" width="40" height="40" alt="LinkedIn Account"/></a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/CVE-Find-Alert/61561116452093/" class="menu-link px-2" target="_blank"><img src="/media/social/facebook.svg" width="40" height="40" alt="Facebook Account"/></a> </li> <li class="menu-item"> <a href="https://x.com/cvefindcom" class="menu-link px-2" target="_blank"><img src="/media/social/twitter.svg" width="40" height="40" alt="Twitter Account"/></a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="footer py-4"> <div class="container-xxl align-items-center justify-content-between"> The information presented on CVE Find originates from several carefully selected reference sources.
