CVE-2025-15599
Last modified
CVE-2025-15599 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. DOMPurify 3.1.3 through 3.2.6 and 2.5.3 through 2.5.8 contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass attribute sanitization by exploiting missing textarea rawtext element validation in the SAFE_FOR_XML regex. Attackers can include closing rawtext tags like </textarea> in attribute values to break out of rawtext contexts and execute JavaScript when sanitized output is placed inside rawtext elements. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
