CVE-2026-44664 Details
Description
fast-xml-builder builds XML from JSON. In 1.1.5, the fix for CVE-2026-41650 in fast-xml-parser sanitizes -- sequences in XML comment content using .replace(/--/g, '- -'). This skip the values containing three consecutive dashes (e.g., --->...), allowing an attacker to break out of an XML comment and inject arbitrary XML/HTML content. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.1.6.
A vulnerability in fast-xml-builder version 1.1.5 allows for injection of arbitrary XML or HTML content through XML comments. The issue arises because the library's comment sanitization process fails to properly handle sequences of three consecutive dashes, enabling an attacker to break out of a comment and inject malicious content. This vulnerability is present in versions greater than 1.1.5 and has been patched in version 1.1.6.
Users can upgrade to fast-xml-builder version 1.1.6 to address this vulnerability. For those unable to upgrade, a workaround involves checking for three consecutive dashes in the property values used for comment tags.
