Published

TinyMCE is an open source rich text editor. From 7.9.3 until 7.9.4 and from 8.5.1 until 8.9.3, the media plugin creates elements crafted through data-mce-object in the active document before sanitization. Those elements can execute malicious scripts during processing, resulting in stored cross-site scripting for users with the media plugin enabled. This issue is fixed in versions 8.9.3 and 7.9.4.

### Impact Stored XSS vulnerability in the media plugin. Attackers can inject malicious scripts via elements crafted through the data-mce-object attribute, which are created and executed before sanitization. Impacts users of TinyMCE with the media plugin enabled. ### Patches This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 8.9.3 and TinyMCE 7.9.4 by ensuring that, when using the media plugin, any content created through the data-mce-object attribute is properly sanitized first. ### Workarounds No official workaround available. ### Fix To avoid this vulnerability: Upgrade to TinyMCE 8.9.3 or higher. Upgrade to TinyMCE 7.9.4 or higher. ### Acknowledgements Tiny thanks [Fariskhi Vidyan](https://github.com/farisv) and David Vieira Kurz (HiSolutions AG) for their help identifying this vulnerability.
