Summary
PhpSpreadsheet HTML writer is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via style information
Details

Summary

\PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Html doesn't sanitize spreadsheet styling information such as font names, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript on the page.

PoC

Example target script:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader("Xlsx");
$spreadsheet = $reader->load(__DIR__ . '/book.xlsx');

$writer = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Html($spreadsheet);
print($writer->generateHTMLAll());

Save this file in the same directory: book.xlsx

Open index.php in a web browser. An alert should be displayed.

Impact

Full takeover of the session of users viewing spreadsheet files as HTML.
