Preact, a lightweight web development framework, JSON serialization protection to prevent Virtual DOM elements from being constructed from arbitrary JSON. A regression introduced in Preact 10.26.5 caused this protection to be softened. In applications where values from JSON payloads are assumed to be strings and passed unmodified to Preact as children, a specially-crafted JSON payload could be constructed that would be incorrectly treated as a valid VNode. When this chain of failures occurs it can result in HTML injection, which can allow arbitrary script execution if not mitigated by CSP or other means. Applications using affected Preact versions are vulnerable if they meet all of the following conditions: first, pass unmodified, unsanitized values from user-modifiable data sources (APIs, databases, local storage, etc.) directly into the render tree; second assume these values are strings but the data source could return actual JavaScript objects instead of JSON strings; and third, the data source either fails to perform type sanitization AND blindly stores/returns raw objects interchangeably with strings, OR is compromised (e.g., poisoned local storage, filesystem, or database). Versions 10.26.10, 10.27.3, and 10.28.2 patch the issue. The patch versions restore the previous strict equality checks that prevent JSON-parsed objects from being treated as valid VNodes. Other mitigations are available for those who cannot immediately upgrade. Validate input types, cast or validate network data, sanitize external data, and use Content Security Policy (CSP).
A flaw was found in Preact, a lightweight web development framework. A security regression allows an attacker to bypass JSON serialization protection, leading to HTML injection. This vulnerability arises when applications process unsanitized data from external sources, allowing malicious JSON to be interpreted as valid user interface elements. If exploited, this could enable arbitrary script execution, potentially compromising user data or system integrity.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat because it requires applications to process unsanitized, user-modifiable JSON data directly into the render tree, assuming it to be strings. This specific configuration is not common in Red Hat products by default. Red Hat AMQ, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, OpenShift Lightspeed, OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat In-Vehicle OS, Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI), Ansible Services, Hosted OpenShift, and cloud.redhat.com are affected if they meet the described conditions.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
