QID 982052

QID 982052: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for striptags (GHSA-qxg5-2qff-p49r)

A type-confusion vulnerability can cause `striptags` to concatenate unsanitized strings when an array-like object is passed in as the `html` parameter. This can be abused by an attacker who can control the shape of their input, e.g. if query parameters are passed directly into the function.

XSS

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.3 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.

Solution

`3.2.0`Workaround:
Ensure that the `html` parameter is a string before calling the function.
