CVE-2026-44664
Description
A flaw was found in fast-xml-builder. The software, which builds XML from JSON, incorrectly sanitizes XML comment content. This allows a remote attacker to bypass the sanitization by using three consecutive dashes, enabling them to break out of an XML comment and inject arbitrary XML or HTML content. This could lead to content manipulation or other impacts depending on how the generated XML is processed.
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.
