CVE-2026-6827
Published:August 23, 2026
Updated:September 23, 2026
justhtml before 1.17.0 contains multiple security issues in sanitization, serialization, and programmatic DOM handling. When custom policies preserve foreign namespaces (SVG/MathML), dangerous content such as HTML integration points (SVG <foreignObject>, MathML <annotation-xml encoding="text/html">) and mutation-XSS parser-differential payloads could survive sanitization and become active HTML after reparse; SVG filter="url(...)" and preserved <style> could leave resource-loading CSS (@import, background-image:url()). Programmatic script/style/Comment nodes could serialize into active markup. Additional hardening fixes address sanitize-pipeline cache mutation and DOM parent/child cycles that could cause infinite loops. Most issues affect advanced or custom configurations rather than the default JustHTML(..., sanitize=True) safe path.
