Moderate severity vulnerability that affects league/commonmark
CVE-2019-10010
Impact
In league/commonmark 0.18.2 and below, malicious users can insert double-encoded HTML entities into their Markdown like this:
[XSS](javascript:alert%28'XSS'%29)This library would (correctly) unescape the & entity to & during the parsing step. However, the renderer step would fail to properly re-escape the resulting : string, thus producing the following malicious HTML output:
<p><a href="javascript:alert('XSS')">XSS</a></p>Browsers would interpret : as a : character and allow the JS to be executed when the link is clicked.
This vulnerability was present in the upstream library this project was forked from and therefore exists in all prior versions of league/commonmark.
Solution
The new 0.18.3 release mirrors the fix made upstream - we no longer attempt to preserve entities when rendering HTML attributes like href, src, title, etc.
The $preserveEntities parameter of Xml::escape() is therefore no longer used internally, so it has been deprecated and marked for removal in the next major release (0.19.0).
