An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-16017 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- sanitize-html (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.2.3\n- sanitize-html (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.2.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16017/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16017/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16017","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16017/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16017","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wg96-3933-j2w5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"sanitize-html npm library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in sanitize-html allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"sanitize-html","vendor":"punkave"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"sanitize-html is a library for scrubbing html input for malicious values Versions 1.2.2 and below have a cross site scripting vulnerability.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting in sanitize-html","id":"CVE-2017-16017","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in restify","id":"CVE-2017-16018"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"sanitize-html","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wg96-3933-j2w5"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"sanitize-html","purl":"pkg:npm/sanitize-html","source":"GHSA-wg96-3933-j2w5"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting in sanitize-html","id":"CVE-2017-16016"},"products":["sanitize-html node module"],"published":"2018-06-04","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting in sanitize-html","id":"CVE-2017-16016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["HackerOne"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in sanitize-html allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16017/"}
