CVE-2026-113661 Details
Description
ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system, and sanitize-html provides a simple HTML sanitizer with a clear API. Prior to sanitize-html 2.18.0, a non-default configuration that allows meta refresh elements and their http-equiv and content attributes can retain unsafe script or redirect destinations embedded in the refresh content value. This issue is fixed in sanitize-html 2.18.0.
A vulnerability exists in ApostropheCMS versions prior to 2.18.0, specifically within the sanitize-html package, which is used for HTML sanitization. The issue arises from a non-default configuration that permits meta refresh elements and their associated http-equiv and content attributes. In this scenario, unsafe script or redirect destinations embedded in the refresh content can be retained. This vulnerability could be exploited to execute scripts or redirect users, depending on the content of the refresh meta tag.
Users can update to sanitize-html version 2.18.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
