Umbraco has Stored XSS in UFM Rendering Pipeline via Permissive DOMPurify Attribute Filtering

Published: 3/11/2026Modified: 3/13/2026

Description

### Description An authenticated backoffice user with access to Settings can inject malicious HTML into property type descriptions. Due to an overly permissive `attributeNameCheck` configuration (/.+/) in the UFM DOMPurify instance, event handler attributes such as onclick and onload, when used within Umbraco web components (`umb-*`, `uui-*`, `ufm-*`) were not filtered. ### Impact As property type descriptions support Markdown/HTML via the UFM rendering pipeline, injected event handlers are rendered in the backoffice interface, resulting in a stored XSS affecting other backoffice users. ### Patches The issue is patched in 16.5.1 and 17.2.2. ### Workarounds There is no workaround other than upgrading. ### References https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/umbraco-flavored-markdown
