CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the serialize-javascript library in Java versions 7.1.1 to 7.1.2, specifically concerning the serialization of function values, which can be exploited to inject cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks due to improper handling of script-closing tags. When an attacker manipulates the function source, it can lead to early termination of script elements, allowing malicious HTML to be parsed. Developers and organizations using affected versions of the library should prioritize upgrading to version 7.1.2 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Serialize JavaScript serializes JavaScript values to a superset of JSON that includes regular expressions and functions. From 7.1.1 until 7.1.2, function values serialized by serialize-javascript are not fully protected against script-closing tags in attacker-influenced function source because SCRIPT_CLOSE_REGEXP can consume a second closing tag inside one match. When the serialized function is embedded in a script element, the surviving closing tag terminates the element early and causes the remaining output to be parsed as HTML, enabling cross-site scripting in the page origin. Only function values are affected; ordinary data values and options.isJSON output are unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.
