Affected packages
• npm jsondiffpatch: < 0.7.2 → fixed in 0.7.2
Description
Vulnerability in jsondiffpatch
Versions of `jsondiffpatch` prior to `0.7.2` are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in the `HtmlFormatter` (`HtmlFormatter::nodeBegin`). When diffs are rendered to HTML using the built-in formatter, untrusted payloads can inject scripts and execute in the context of a consuming web page.
Affected versions: >= 0, < 0.7.2
Patched version: 0.7.2
Remediation
Upgrade to `jsondiffpatch` `0.7.2` or later. The fix hardens the HTML formatter to avoid script injection.
Workarounds
Avoid using the HTML formatter on untrusted diffs, or sanitize/escape the rendered output.
