CVE-2026-47423 Details
Description
DOMPurify is a DOM-only cross-site scripting sanitizer for HTML, MathML, and SVG. In 3.4.4, DOMPurify allowed selectedcontent by default, allowing browsers to re-clone an XSS payload after sanitization so that unsanitized markup inside <selectedcontent> is returned. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.5.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in DOMPurify version 3.4.4. The issue arises from the default allowance of the 'selectedcontent' element, which enables a mechanism where browsers can 're-clone' an XSS payload after it has been sanitized. This process results in the return of unsanitized markup within the 'selectedcontent' element. The vulnerability is present in DOMPurify versions prior to 3.4.5.
Users are advised to update DOMPurify to version 3.4.5 or later, where this issue has been fixed.
