CVE-2026-50290 · @asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: CSS expression sanitization is bypassable in renderToString

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

SpecifyJS is a declarative TypeScript user interface framework. Prior to version 0.2.136, CSS value sanitization stripped `expression(` and `url(javascript:` using simple regex, but could be bypassed with CSS unicode escapes (`\65xpression(`), null bytes, or CSS comments (`exp/**/ression(`). These CSS injection vectors only work in legacy browsers (IE6-IE10). SpecifyJS targets modern browsers. Starting in version 0.2.136, CSS sanitization now normalizes unicode escapes and strips CSS comments before pattern matching. Also checks for `behavior:`, `-moz-binding`, and `-o-link` patterns.
