Low · 3.7 CVE-2021-32696 EUVD-2021-1388GHSA-qxg5-2qff-p49r

Passing in a non-string 'html' argument can lead to unsanitized output

Published Jun 18, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

The npm package "striptags" is an implementation of PHP's strip_tags in Typescript. In striptags before version 3.2.0, a type-confusion vulnerability can cause `striptags` to concatenate unsanitized strings when an array-like object is passed in as the `html` parameter. This can be abused by an attacker who can control the shape of their input, e.g. if query parameters are passed directly into the function. This can lead to a XSS.
