Vulnerability in enshrined/svg-sanitize (CVE-2026-107381)
Summary
Vulnerability in enshrined/svg-sanitize (CVE-2026-107381). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via HrEf. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.0.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Resolver::processReferences() collects elements with the XPath predicate `use[@href or @xlink:href]`, which is case sensitive. A element written as xlink:HrEf is therefore never added to the reference graph, so the nesting-DoS nullification never marks it for removal. Sanitizer::cleanHrefAttributes() then runs later in the same pass and rewrites xlink:HrEf back to the canonical xlink:href. The sanitizer hands back a fully live nesting bomb that it would have stripped completely had the input used canonical casing.
This is the mirror image of CVE-2025-55166: that fix made href value checking case insensitive, but the `` reference graph still selects nodes case sensitively.
Where it is
src/ElementReference/Resolver.php:97-118, the case-sensitive node selection:
$useNodeName = $this->xPath->createNodeName('use');
foreach ($this->subjects as $subject) {
$useElements = $this->xPath->query(
$useNodeName . '[@href or @xlink:href]',
$subject->getElement()
);
src/Sanitizer.php:479-504, the normalization that happens afterwards and makes the attribute live again:
// in case the attribute name is `HrEf`/`xlink:HrEf`, adjust it to `href`/`xlink:href`
if (!in_array($attribute->nodeName, $this->allowedAttrs, true)
&& in_array(strtolower($attribute->nodeName), $this->allowedAttrs, true)
) {
$element->removeAttribute($attribute->nodeName);
$element->setAttribute(strtolower($attribute->nodeName),…
