Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17017
CWE-ID:
CWE-843 - Type confusion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when processing HTML content in XPCVariant.cpp. A remote attacker can create a specially crated web page, trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

EUVDB-ID: #VU24058
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17020
CWE-ID:
CWE-358 - Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of Content Security Policy that is not enforced for XSL stylesheets applied to XML documents. If the XSL sheet e.g. includes JavaScript, it would bypass any of the restrictions of the Content Security Policy applied to the XML document.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions that rely on Content Security Policy and perform dangerous actions.

EUVDB-ID: #VU24060
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17022
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the CSS sanitizer. When pasting a tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS sanitizer does not escape < and > characters. If a webpage subsequently copies the node's innerHTML, assigning it to another innerHTML, this would result in an XSS vulnerability.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17016
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when pasting a tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS sanitizer incorrectly rewrites a @namespace rule. This could allow for injection into certain types of websites resulting in data exfiltration.
