Browser script execution via Unicode tag-strip bypass
Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Mailgen before 2.0.32 allows remote attackers to execute browser scripts through generated plaintext email. generatePlaintext decodes HTML entities before applying a tag-stripping regular expression that fails to match tags containing Unicode line separators. Reachability requires an application to pass untrusted content to generatePlaintext and later interpret its returned string as HTML, enabling script execution in a victim's browser.
