Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Stored XSS vulnerability in the media plugin. Attackers can inject malicious scripts via crafted `data-mce-*` attributes, which are executed when content is rendered. Impacts users of TinyMCE with the media plugin enabled.

Patches This vulnerability has been patched in TinyMCE 8.5.1, TinyMCE 7.9.3 and TinyMCE 5.11.1 LTS by ensuring that, when using the media plugin, any content with `data-mce-object` and `data-mce-p-*` attributes are properly sanitized.

Workarounds No official workaround available.

Fix To avoid this vulnerability: - Upgrade to TinyMCE 8.5.1 or higher. - Upgrade to TinyMCE 7.9.3 or higher. - Upgrade to TinyMCE 5.11.1 LTS or higher for TinyMCE 5.x (only available as part of commercial long-term support contract).

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-47761

Advisory: TinyMCE Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability using media plugin `data-mce-object` injection
IDs: CVE-2026-47761, GHSA-vg35-5wq7-3x7w
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-47761 (revision 1, source checked 24 Oct 2026, 04:13 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: tinymce 8.5.1, 7.9.3; tinymce/tinymce 8.5.1, 7.9.3; tinymce 8.5.1, 7.9.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- NuGet tinymce: affected <= 5.10.9; >= 6.0.0, < 7.9.3; >= 8.0.0, < 8.5.1; fixed in 7.9.3, 8.5.1
- Packagist tinymce/tinymce: affected <= 5.10.9; >= 6.0.0, < 7.9.3; >= 8.0.0, < 8.5.1; fixed in 7.9.3, 8.5.1
- npm tinymce: affected <= 5.10.9; >= 6.0.0, < 7.9.3; >= 8.0.0, < 8.5.1; fixed in 7.9.3, 8.5.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- NuGet tinymce: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Packagist tinymce/tinymce: check the installed version with your package manager.
- `npm ls tinymce --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on tinymce, tinymce/tinymce.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
