Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.
The vulnerability exists due to cross-site scripting in the Level0InputController drag-and-drop handling when processing a crafted application/x-trix-document JSON payload dropped into the editor. A remote attacker can provide a draggable element containing a javascript: URI in the href attribute to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.
User interaction is required to drag and drop attacker-controlled content into the editor, and exploitation only affects environments using the fallback Level0InputController.
