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

CVE-2026-33244

Medium
5.4/10

Summary

React Router is a router for React. In versions 7.5.1 through 7.13.1, when using Framework Mode with pre-rendering enabled, improper neutralization of the HTTP `Location` header value can permit Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the statically generated HTML files if the redirect location comes from an untrusted source. This does not impact applications using Declarative Mode (`<BrowserRouter>`) or Data Mode (`createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>`). This is patched in version 7.13.2.

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.
