Lack of Escaping of HTML in JSX Fragments allows for XSS

Package

npm solid-js (npm)

Affected versions

< 1.9.4

Patched versions

1.9.4

Description

Inserts/JSX expressions inside illegal inlined JSX fragments lacked escaping, allowing user input to be rendered as HTML when put directly inside JSX fragments.

For instance, ?text=<svg/onload=alert(1)> would trigger XSS here.

  const [text] = createResource(() => {
    return new URL(getRequestEvent().request.url).searchParams.get("text");
  });

  return (
    <>
      Text: {text()}
    </>
  );

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
