Impact TinyMCE 6.8.x contains an XSS vulnerability caused by improper SVG namespace scope handling in the sanitizer. A crafted payload using nested <svg> elements can bypass attribute sanitization and execute arbitrary JavaScript.

Patches This issue affects TinyMCE 6.8.x-7.0.x. The vulnerability is fixed in TinyMCE 7.1.0 and later.

Workarounds No official workaround available.

References Fix introduced in TinyMCE 7.1.0 though a rewrite of code causing the vulnerability.

The Download HTML TinyMCE Button WordPress plugin through 1.2 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.

Movable Type contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the HTML edit mode of MT Block Editor. It is exploitable when TinyMCE6 is used as a rich text editor and an arbitrary script may be executed on a logged-in user's web browser.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the TinyMCE Color Picker plugin before 1.2 for WordPress allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified users for requests that change plugin settings via unknown vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The TinyMCE Color Picker plugin before 1.2 for WordPress does not properly check permissions, which allows remote attackers to modify plugin settings via unspecified vectors. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The bbcode plugin in TinyMCE 3.5.8 does not properly enforce the TinyMCE security policy for the (1) encoding directive and (2) validelements attribute, which allows attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors, as demonstrated using a textarea element.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in swfupload.swf in SWFUpload 2.2.0.1 and earlier, as used in WordPress before 3.3.2, TinyMCE Image Manager 1.1, and other products, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the movieName parameter, related to the "ExternalInterface.call" function.

moxieplayer.as in Moxiecode moxieplayer, as used in the TinyMCE Media plugin in WordPress before 3.5.2 and other products, does not consider the presence of a # (pound sign) character during extraction of the QUERYSTRING, which allows remote attackers to pass arbitrary parameters to a Flash application, and conduct content-spoofing attacks, via a crafted string after a ? (question mark) character.

classes/GoogleSpell.php in the PHP Spellchecker (aka Google Spellchecker) addon before 2.0.6.1 for TinyMCE, as used in Moodle 2.1.x before 2.1.10, 2.2.x before 2.2.7, 2.3.x before 2.3.4, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 and other products, does not properly handle control characters, which allows remote attackers to trigger arbitrary outbound HTTP requests via a crafted string.

Static code injection vulnerability in inc/function.base.php in Ajax File and Image Manager before 1.1, as used in tinymce before 1.4.2, phpMyFAQ 2.6 before 2.6.19 and 2.7 before 2.7.1, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary PHP code into data.php via crafted parameters.
