CVE-2026-41239
Description
A flaw was found in DOMPurify. A remote attacker could exploit this cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when DOMPurify is configured to return a Document Object Model (DOM) or DOM fragment. The SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES feature, intended to strip template expressions like {{...}}, fails in these modes, allowing malicious content to bypass sanitization. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or information disclosure in applications utilizing template-evaluating frameworks such as Vue 2.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
