Technical details

The vulnerability exists in how Rich Text Editor exports video embeds via asDelta(): the href attribute value is not escaped before the HTML is parsed into live DOM, allowing attribute breakout to inject arbitrary JavaScript. The vulnerability only affects content persisted through asDelta(); the default HTML path using setValue/getValue is protected by server-side sanitization. Vaadin 24 and earlier are unaffected as they escape via browser mechanisms.

Affected products

  • Vaadin Rich Text Editor 25.0.0 to 25.3.4
