XSS in HtmlSanitizer

Published: 1/4/2021Modified: 3/13/2026

Description

### Impact If you have explicitly allowed the `<style>` tag, an attacker could craft HTML that includes script after passing through the sanitizer. The default settings disallow the `<style>` tag so there is no risk if you have not explicitly allowed the `<style>` tag. ### Patches The problem has been fixed in version 5.0.372. ### Workarounds Remove the `<style>` tag from the set of allowed tags. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory open an issue in https://github.com/mganss/HtmlSanitizer ### Credits This issue was discovered by Michal Bentkowski of Securitum.
