For example, `bodyAttrs` is limited to `class` and `style`, event handler attributes are removed, and `<script>` tags are only kept for JSON types.\n\nWhen `useHeadSafe` is called inside a server island (a `.server.vue` component or page, or a component rendered with `<NuxtIsland>`), the island renderer serialises the raw input of every head entry into the island response without the option that marks it as safe input. `<NuxtIsland>` then pushes that input into the page's head as a regular entry, both during server rendering and when hydrating or refetching on the client.\n\nAs a result, input that `useHeadSafe` would normally strip (such as `bodyAttrs.onload` or executable `<script>` content) is rendered into the page. If an application passes user-controlled data to `useHeadSafe` inside a server island, an attacker who controls that data can achieve stored cross-site scripting on the application's origin.\n\n```vue\n<!-- components/AuthorMeta.server.vue -->\n<script setup lang=\"ts\">\nconst { data: author } = await useFetch('/api/author')\n// author.value.head is user-authored, e.g. { bodyAttrs: { onload: '...' } }\nuseHeadSafe(author.value.head)\n</script>\n```\n\n## Mitigating factors\n\n- Server components are experimental. They are only active when the application defines a `.server.vue` component or page, or enables `experimental.componentIslands` and renders `<NuxtIsland>`.\n- Exploitation requires the application to pass attacker-controlled data to `useHeadSafe` inside a server island. `useHeadSafe` called from regular (non-island) components and pages is not affected.\n\n## Affected versions\n\n`nuxt` `>=3.13.0`, when head support for server islands was introduced. Nuxt 2 is not affected.\n\n## Patches\n\nFixed in `nuxt@4.6.2`. Nuxt 3 reached end of life on 31 July 2026 and will not receive a fix.\n\nPatched releases apply Unhead's safe input filtering to `useHeadSafe` entries on the server before they are added to the island response, so `islandResponse.head` (including what `render:island` hooks see) only contains input that `useHeadSafe` allows.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nUpgrade to `nuxt@4.6.2`. If you cannot upgrade, including on Nuxt 3:\n\n1. Call `useHeadSafe` with untrusted input from a regular component or page rather than from inside a server island.\n2. Alternatively, validate untrusted head input against your own allowlist before passing it to `useHeadSafe` inside a server island.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-22T16:58:00+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-22T17:15:04.2919342+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"nuxt","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"3.13.0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"4.6.2"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"MODERATE"}],"references":["https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/security/advisories/GHSA-xfq5-w38q-pc2x","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-114133","https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/commit/493565e99451a0f52330b1f6b979254a4a39e5d0","https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt","https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.2"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xfq5-w38q-pc2x","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-xfq5-w38q-pc2x","identifiers":["GHSA-xfq5-w38q-pc2x","CVE-2026-114133"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
