Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-53892 describes a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in Vue I18n, an internationalization plugin for Vue.js. The vulnerability arises because the `escapeParameterHtml: true` option, which is designed to prevent HTML/script injection by escaping interpolated parameters, fails to adequately sanitize specific tag-based payloads. This flaw allows for the execution of malicious JavaScript code if an interpolated value containing such a payload is inserted into an HTML context using `v-html`, even when the `escapeParameterHtml` setting is enabled.

Description: Vue I18n is the internationalization plugin for Vue.js. The escapeParameterHtml: true option in Vue I18n is designed to protect against HTML/script injection by escaping interpolated parameters. However, starting in version 9.0.0 and prior to versions 9.14.5, 10.0.8, and 11.1.0, this setting fails to prevent execution of certain tag-based payloads, such as <img src=x onerror=...>, if the interpolated value is inserted inside an HTML context using v-html. This may lead to a DOM-based XSS vulnerability, even when using escapeParameterHtml: true, if a translation string includes minor HTML and is rendered via v-html. Versions 9.14.5, 10.0.8, and 11.1.0 contain a fix for the issue.
