CVE-2019-11744

Severity CVSS v4.0:

Pending analysis

Type:

CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Publication date:

27/09/2019

Last modified:

Description

Some HTML elements, such as &lt;title&gt; and &lt;textarea&gt;, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements. This vulnerability affects Firefox
