{"id":"CVE-2022-39353","summary":"xmldom allows multiple root nodes in a DOM","details":"xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` module. xmldom parses XML that is not well-formed because it contains multiple top level elements, and adds all root nodes to the `childNodes` collection of the `Document`, without reporting any error or throwing. This breaks the assumption that there is only a single root node in the tree, which led to issuance of CVE-2022-39299 as it is a potential issue for dependents. Update to @xmldom/xmldom@~0.7.7, @xmldom/xmldom@~0.8.4 (dist-tag latest) or @xmldom/xmldom@\u003e=0.9.0-beta.4 (dist-tag next). As a workaround, please one of the following approaches depending on your use case: instead of searching for elements in the whole DOM, only search in the `documentElement`or reject a document with a document that has more then 1 `childNode`.","aliases":["GHSA-crh6-fp67-6883"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:44.286719291Z","published":"2022-11-02T00:00:00Z","related":["CGA-qqfq-7945-wx5c"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-1288","CWE-20"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/39xxx/CVE-2022-39353.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/39xxx/CVE-2022-39353.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom/security/advisories/GHSA-crh6-fp67-6883"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-39353"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/jindw/xmldom/issues/150"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/01/msg00000.html"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/xmldom/xmldom","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"c80a161172cc4d8733583bf0cf59abfa589f6d9e"},{"introduced":"c568938641cc1f121cef5b4df80fcfda1e489b6e"},{"fixed":"fe5b043fd07bbfed7f039b77d0b9e1a1eb832a2a"},{"introduced":"01672e13958c1b0bff7e42784dbdb3de32566e98"},{"fixed":"27fec1ff2fbc5a57ac3ab372d0a1efa230ece918"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.6.0"},{"introduced":"0.7.0"},{"fixed":"0.7.7"},{"introduced":"0.8.0"},{"fixed":"0.8.4"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE","cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:xmldom_project:xmldom:*:*:*:*:*:node.js:*:*"}}],"versions":["0.8.3","0.7.6","0.7.5","0.8.2","0.8.1","0.8.0","0.7.4","0.7.3","0.7.2","0.7.1","0.7.0+scoped","v0.7.0","0.7.0+unscoped","0.7.0","0.5.0","0.4.0","0.3.0","0.2.1","0.2.0","v0.1.28-xmldom-alpha","v0.1.28-not-published","xmldom-aplha@v0.1.28","v0.1.27","0.1.27","0.1.26","0.1.25","0.1.24","0.1.23","0.1.22","0.1.21","0.1.20","0.1.19","0.1.18","0.1.17","0.1.2","0.1.1","0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-39353.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H"}]}
