Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVE-2025-68457

Low
0.6/10

Summary

Orejime is a consent manager that focuses on accessibility. On HTML elements handled by Orejime prior to version 2.3.2-alpha.0, one could run malicious code by embedding `javascript:` code within data attributes. When consenting to the related purpose, Orejime would turn data attributes into unprefixed ones (i.e. `data-href` into `href`), thus executing the code. This shouldn't have any impact on most setups, as elements handled by Orejime are generally hardcoded. The problem would only arise if somebody could inject HTML code within pages. The problem has been patched in version 2.3.2-alpha.0. As a workaround, the problem can be fixed outside of Orejime by sanitizing attributes which could contain executable code.

CWE-79 - Cross Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is the most dominant class of vulnerabilities. It allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a pregnable web application and victimize its users. The exploitation of such a weakness can cause severe issues such as account takeover, and sensitive data exfiltration. Because of the prevalence of XSS vulnerabilities and their high rate of exploitation, it has remained in the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities for years.
