CVE-2022-24891: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
(updated )
ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, there is a potential for a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ESAPI caused by a incorrect regular expression for onsiteURL in the antisamy-esapi.xml configuration file that can cause javascript: URLs to fail to be correctly sanitized. This issue is patched in ESAPI 2.3.0.0. As a workaround, manually edit the antisamy-esapi.xml configuration files to change the onsiteURL regular expression. More information about remediation of the vulnerability, including the workaround, is available in the maintainers’ release notes and security bulletin.
