Description

All React applications built with react-admin and using the <RichTextField> are affected.

<RichTextField> outputs the field value using dangerouslySetInnerHTML without client-side sanitization. If the data isn’t sanitized server-side, this opens a possible Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attack.

Recommendation

Update the react-admin package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): **>= 4.0.0, < 4.7.6 < 3.19.12**
  • Patched version(s): **4.7.6 3.19.12**
