CVE-2026-73428
Description
Trix is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get rich text editor for everyday writing. Prior to 2.1.18, Trix is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting when crafted HTML is pasted into the editor. HTMLParser processes a mock attachment in a ` with an empty data-trix-attachment="{}"` value, causing data-trix-attributes to be applied to a plain string piece. StringPiece.fromJSON accepts an unvalidated href, allowing a javascript: URI to enter the document model and serialized HTML and execute when another user renders and clicks the content. Applications that apply server-side HTML sanitization can neutralize the payload on save. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.18.
