Security Advisories: MDE2OlNlY3VyaXR5QWR2aXNvcnlHSFNBLWhyM2gteDZncS1ycWNw

Cross site scripting via HTML attributes in the back end

Impact

It is possible for untrusted users to inject malicious code into HTML attributes in the back end, which will be executed both in the element preview (back end) and on the website (front end).

Installations are only affected if there are untrusted back end users who have the rights to modify HTML fields (e.g. TinyMCE).

Patches

Update to Contao 4.4.56, 4.9.18 or 4.11.7

Workarounds

Disable all fields that allow HTML for untrusted back end users or disable the login for these users.
