aguingand published GHSA-9f58-4465-23c7 Oct 28, 2025

Package

composer code16/sharp (Composer)

Affected versions

< 9.11.1

Patched versions

9.11.1

Description

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in code16/sharp when rendering content using the SharpShowTextField component.

In affected versions, expressions wrapped in {{ & }} were evaluated by Vue. This allowed attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML that executes in the browser when the field is displayed.

For example, if a field’s value contains {{ Math.random() }}, it will be executed instead of being displayed as text.

Impact

Attackers who can control content rendered through SharpShowTextField could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of an authenticated user’s browser.

This could lead to:

  • Theft of user session tokens.
  • Unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users.
  • Injection of malicious content into the admin panel.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in v9.11.1 of code16/sharp package.

Mitigation / Workarounds

Sanitize or encode any user-provided data that may include ({{ & }}) before displaying it in a SharpShowTextField.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
