CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe AngleSharp library, prior to version 1.5.0, is vulnerable due to improper handling of the MathAnnotationXmlElement, which can lead to mutation cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs when an attacker exploits the differential in namespace handling to inject active script-capable HTML that is not sanitized correctly. Developers and organizations using AngleSharp for parsing HTML or XML should prioritize upgrading to version 1.5.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
AngleSharp is a .NET library for parsing angle bracket based hyper-texts. Prior to 1.5.0, MathAnnotationXmlElement in AngleSharp/Mathml/Dom/Internal/MathAnnotationXmlElement.cs is not treated as an HTML integration point when its encoding attribute is text/html or application/xhtml+xml, causing Consume in AngleSharp/Html/Parser/HtmlDomBuilder.cs to route tokens through foreign-content parsing instead of HTML parsing. A sanitizer can therefore observe a different DOM from the browser that reparses the serialized output. An attacker can combine this namespace differential with markup-breaking characters in an attribute value so that an element hidden from the sanitizer becomes active script-capable HTML after browser reparse, resulting in mutation cross-site scripting. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.0.
