A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in TinyMCE’s content loading and content inserting code. A SVG image could be loaded though an object
or embed
element and that image could potentially contain a XSS payload.
TinyMCE 6.8.1 introduced a new convert_unsafe_embeds
option to automatically convert object
and embed
elements respective of their type
attribute. From TinyMCE 7.0.0 onwards, the convert_unsafe_embeds
option is enabled by default.
If you are using TinyMCE 6.8.1 or higher, set convert_unsafe_embeds
to true. For any earlier versions, a custom NodeFilter is recommended to remove or modify any object
or embed
elements. This can be added using the editor.parser.addNodeFilter
and editor.serializer.addNodeFilter
APIs.
Tiny Technologies would like to thank Toni Huttunen of Fraktal Oy for discovering this vulnerability.
