Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Trix, a rich text editor. An attacker can exploit a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability by crafting malicious HTML with a `data-trix-serialized-attributes` attribute. This attribute can bypass the DOMPurify sanitizer, allowing the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in a user's session. This could lead to unauthorized actions or the disclosure of sensitive information.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-18 14:35:18 UTC
Trix is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get rich text editor for everyday writing. Prior to 2.1.17, Trix is vulnerable to cross-site scripting when a data-trix-serialized-attributes attribute bypasses the DOMPurify sanitizer. An attacker can craft HTML containing a data-trix-serialized-attributes attribute with a malicious payload that, when rendered, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the user's session and may perform unauthorized actions or disclose sensitive information. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.17.
