  • Disclosed: 02.09.2020
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Versions of google-closure-library prior to 20190301.0.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The safedomtreeprocessor.processToString() function improperly processed empty elements, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript through Mutation Cross-Site Scripting.
