PostCSS line return parsing error

CVE-2023-44270 / GHSA-7fh5-64p2-3v2j

More information

Details

An issue was discovered in PostCSS before 8.4.31. It affects linters using PostCSS to parse external Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). There may be \r discrepancies, as demonstrated by @font-face{ font:(\r/*);} in a rule.

This vulnerability affects linters using PostCSS to parse external untrusted CSS. An attacker can prepare CSS in such a way that it will contains parts parsed by PostCSS as a CSS comment. After processing by PostCSS, it will be included in the PostCSS output in CSS nodes (rules, properties) despite being originally included in a comment.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 5.3 / 10 (Medium)

PostCSS has XSS via Unescaped </style> in its CSS Stringify Output

CVE-2026-41305 / GHSA-qx2v-qp2m-jg93

More information

Details

PostCSS: XSS via Unescaped </style> in CSS Stringify Output
Summary

PostCSS v8.5.5 (latest) does not escape </style> sequences when stringifying CSS ASTs. When user-submitted CSS is parsed and re-stringified for embedding in HTML <style> tags, </style> in CSS values breaks out of the style context, enabling XSS.

Proof of Concept
const postcss = require('postcss');

// Parse user CSS and re-stringify for page embedding
const userCSS = 'body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }';
const ast = postcss.parse(userCSS);
const output = ast.toResult().css;
const html = `<style>${output}</style>`;

console.log(html);
// <style>body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }</style>
//
// Browser: </style> closes the style tag, <script> executes

Tested output (Node.js v22, postcss v8.5.5):

Input: body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }
Output: body { content: "</style><script>alert(1)</script><style>"; }
Contains </style>: true
Impact

Impact non-bundler use cases since bundlers for XSS on their own. Requires some PostCSS plugin to have malware code, which can inject XSS to website.

Suggested Fix

Escape </style in all stringified output values:

output = output.replace(/<\/(style)/gi, '<\\/$1');
