{"id":"CVE-2026-44644","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-44644","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T04:45:54.157Z","title":"Versions 10.25.7 and below are vulnerable to XSS through a flaw in the strip_html filter logic.","description":"LiquidJS is a Shopify/GitHub Pages compatible template engine written in pure JavaScript. Versions 10.25.7 and below are vulnerable to XSS through a flaw in the strip_html filter logic. The strip_html filter is intended to remove HTML tags from a string before rendering, and is widely used as an XSS sanitizer. The implementation uses a regex whose catch-all branch (<.*?>) does not match line terminators, so any HTML tag containing a \\n or \\r character passes through unmodified. An attacker who can place a newline inside a tag (e.g. <img\\nsrc=x\\nonerror=alert(1)>) bypasses sanitization entirely, since browsers treat newlines as whitespace within a tag and execute the resulting onerror/onload/etc. handler. Exploitation is possible for applications that both render attacker-controlled strings via {{ x | strip_html }} to defend against HTML injection and do not separately HTML-escape that output (default behavior — outputEscape is unset by default). This issue has been fixed in version 10.26.0.","published":"2026-06-17T23:17:03.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T11:10:00.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.0025,"percentile":0.16199,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.25%).
