Description
In Eclipse Theia 0.3.9 to 1.8.1, the “mini-browser” extension allows a user to preview HTML files in an iframe inside the IDE. But with the way it is made it is possible for a previewed HTML file to trigger an RCE. This exploit only happens if a user previews a malicious file.
Recommendation
Update the @theia/mini-browser package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:
- Affected version(s): >= 0.3.9, < 1.9.0
- Patched version(s): 1.9.0
