CVE-2026-114133: Nuxt server islands render `useHeadSafe` input without sanitisation
useHeadSafe restricts head input to an allowlist of safe tags and attributes. For example, bodyAttrs is limited to class and style, event handler attributes are removed, and <script> tags are only kept for JSON types.
When useHeadSafe is called inside a server island (a .server.vue component or page, or a component rendered with <NuxtIsland>), the island renderer serialises the raw input of every head entry into the island response without the option that marks it as safe input. <NuxtIsland> then pushes that input into the page’s head as a regular entry, both during server rendering and when hydrating or refetching on the client.
As a result, input that useHeadSafe would normally strip (such as bodyAttrs.onload or executable <script> content) is rendered into the page. If an application passes user-controlled data to useHeadSafe inside a server island, an attacker who controls that data can achieve stored cross-site scripting on the application’s origin.
<!-- components/AuthorMeta.server.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: author } = await useFetch('/api/author')
// author.value.head is user-authored, e.g. { bodyAttrs: { onload: '...' } }
useHeadSafe(author.value.head)
</script>
