Practical Security Guides For Your Team

Your application uses an outdated version of Axios, a popular tool that helps your app communicate with other services over the internet. Due to a bug in this version, a special security token — designed to protect your users from a type of attack where a malicious website tricks their browser into taking actions on your site — is accidentally sent to any external server your app talks to, not just your own. Think of it like a master key being slipped under every door in the building instead of just your own front door.

Your website uses a library called DOMPurify to clean up user-submitted content before displaying it — think of it like a filter that strips out dangerous code. A flaw in older versions of this library means the filter can be tricked under specific conditions, allowing malicious scripts to slip through. This only affects sites that have enabled a particular non-default setting called SAFE_FOR_TEMPLATES.

Your website uses a library called DOMPurify to clean up untrusted content before displaying it to users — think of it like a filter that strips out dangerous code. A flaw in the version you're running means that filter can be tricked into letting harmful scripts through. An attacker who can submit content to your site (e.g. via a form, comment box, or rich-text editor) could exploit this to run malicious code in your visitors' browsers.

Your website uses a popular library called DOMPurify to clean up user-submitted content before displaying it — think of it like a bouncer checking IDs at the door. A flaw in older versions of this library means the bouncer can be tricked by a specific type of disguised content, allowing malicious code to slip through and run in your visitors' browsers. This is a confirmed, actively exploitable issue with public attack code available.

Your website uses TinyMCE, a popular text editor that lets users write and format content. A security gap in versions before 7.0.0 means that if someone embeds a specially crafted image file (an SVG) using certain HTML elements, it could carry hidden malicious code. Think of it like a picture frame that secretly contains a hidden compartment — the image looks normal, but something harmful is tucked inside.
