Cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in TinyMCE before 5.7.1. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the URL sanitization logic of the core parser for form elements. The vulnerability allowed arbitrary JavaScript execution when inserting a specially crafted piece of content into the editor using the clipboard or APIs, and then submitting the form. However, as TinyMCE does not allow forms to be submitted while editing, the vulnerability could only be triggered when the content was previewed or rendered outside of the editor.
