Zendframework has potential Cross-site Scripting vector in multiple view helpers

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 7, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jun 7, 2024

Package

zendframework/zendframework (Composer)

Affected versions

>= 2.0.0, < 2.2.7

2.3.1

Description

Many Zend Framework 2 view helpers were using the escapeHtml() view helper in order to escape HTML attributes, instead of the more appropriate escapeHtmlAttr(). In situations where user data and/or JavaScript is used to seed attributes, this can lead to potential cross site scripting (XSS) attack vectors.

Vulnerable view helpers include:

All Zend\Form view helpers.
Most Zend\Navigation (aka Zend\View\Helper\Navigation\*) view helpers.
All "HTML Element" view helpers: htmlFlash(), htmlPage(), htmlQuickTime().
Zend\View\Helper\Gravatar
