CVE-2026-59167
Published:September 23, 2026
Updated:October 13, 2026
SunEditor is a lightweight and powerful WYSIWYG editor in vanilla JavaScript with no dependencies. Prior to 2.47.11, the sanitizer in src/lib/core.js does not consistently reject namespaced or custom HTML elements, allowing event-handler attributes to remain on crafted elements. When an application renders attacker-controlled editor content and a user interacts with the element, the retained handler can execute script in the application's browser origin, enabling stored cross-site scripting, data exposure, or unauthorized browser-context actions. This issue is fixed in version 2.47.11.
