DOMSanitizer - Incomplete data: URL Sanitization in DOMSanitizer::isDangerousUrl() Allows Base64-Encoded Payloads to Bypass href and xlink:href Validation
DOMSanitizer is a DOM/SVG/MathML Sanitizer for PHP 7.3+. Prior to version 1.0.15, the isDangerousUrl() method is responsible for rejecting dangerous URL values in the href and xlink:href attributes. The weakness is that "javascript:" is rejected as a scheme, while "data:" is rejected only when the literal substring onload appears in the URL value (/^data:.*onload/i). Because data: payloads are routinely Base64-encoded, the dangerous content (
