How to Fix CVE-2026-47344

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Typo3/html sanitizer dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

typo3/html-sanitizer fixed: 2.3.2 
Upgrade typo3/html-sanitizer to 2.3.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for typo3/html-sanitizer

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-47344, inspect your project dependencies for Typo3/html sanitizer:

inspect dependencies for typo3/html-sanitizer

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Typo3/html sanitizer in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.3.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Typo3/html sanitizer, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

When `ALLOW_INSECURE_RAW_TEXT` is enabled, whitespace-variant closing tags (e.g., `</style\\t>`) are not recognized by the sanitizer but accepted by browsers as valid end tags, allowing subsequent content to escape sanitization. This allows bypassing the cross-site scripting prevention mechanism of `typo3/html-sanitizer` before version 2.3.2. Credits to IPC Labs for reporting this vulnerability.
