    goldmark vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS)

    CVE-2026-5160 · GHSA-c97m-vxhj-p7j6

    Affected
    • Go github.com/yuin/goldmark/renderer/html < 1.7.17
    Fixed in
    1.7.17· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Versions of the package github.com/yuin/goldmark/renderer/html before 1.7.17 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) due to improper ordering of URL validation and normalization. The renderer validates link destinations using a prefix-based check (IsDangerousURL) before resolving HTML entities. This allows an attacker to bypass protocol filtering by encoding dangerous schemes using HTML5 named character references. For example, a payload such as javascript&colon;alert(1) is not recognized as dangerous during validation, leading to arbitrary script execution in the context of applications that render the URL.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.7.17 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
