CVE-2023-43643
AntiSamy is a library for performing fast, configurable cleansing of HTML coming from untrusted sources. Prior to version 1.7.4, there is a potential for a mutation XSS (mXSS) vulnerability in AntiSamy caused by flawed parsing of the HTML being sanitized. To be subject to this vulnerability the `preserveComments` directive must be enabled in your policy file and also allow for certain tags at the same time. As a result, certain crafty inputs can result in elements in comment tags being interpreted as executable when using AntiSamy's sanitized output. This issue has been patched in AntiSamy 1.7.4 and later.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Puntuación base: 6.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.47%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 39
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

Antes de la versión 1.7.4, existe la posibilidad de que se produzca una vulnerabilidad de mutación XSS (mXSS) en AntiSamy causada por un análisis defectuoso del HTML que se está sanitizando. Para estar sujeto a esta vulnerabilidad, la directiva `preserveComments` debe estar habilitada en su archivo de política y también permitir ciertas etiquetas al mismo tiempo. Como resultado, ciertas entradas astutas pueden dar lugar a que los elementos de las etiquetas de comentarios se interpreten como ejecutables cuando se utiliza la salida sanitizada de AntiSamy. Este problema se solucionó en AntiSamy 1.7.4 y versiones posteriores."
