During a recent internal audit, we identified a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the CKEditor 5 clipboard package (CVE-2024-45613). This vulnerability could be triggered by a specific user action, leading to unauthorized JavaScript code execution, if the attacker managed to insert malicious content into the editor, which might happen with a very specific editor configuration.

This vulnerability affects only installations where the editor configuration meets the following criteria:

The Block Toolbar plugin is enabled.
One of the following plugins is also enabled:
- General HTML Support with a configuration that permits unsafe markup.
- HTML Embed.

You can read more details in the relevant security advisory and contact us if you have more questions.

Taking the occasion, we decided to introduce additional hardening to some parts of our codebase that introduce theoretical and unexploitable issues. Our security team confirmed that none of these issues were exploitable in a real scenario, however, we decided to fix them, in order to increase the overall security posture of our software.
