Impact A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in TinyMCE’s content parsing code. This allowed specially crafted noscript elements containing malicious code to be executed when that content was loaded into the editor. Patches This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 7.2.0, TinyMCE 6.8.4 and TinyMCE 5.11.0 LTS by ensuring that content within noscript elements are properly parsed. Fix To avoid this vulnerability: • Upgrade to TinyMCE 7.2.0 or higher. • Upgrade to TinyMCE 6.8.4 or higher for TinyMCE 6.x. • Upgrade to TinyMCE 5.11.0 LTS or higher for TinyMCE 5.x (only available as part of commercial long-term support contract).
