CVE-2026-115897 - Serialize JavaScript: Cross-site scripting (XSS) via unescaped </script at the end of a serialized function body

CVE ID :CVE-2026-115897
Published : Oct. 23, 2026, 9:37 p.m. | 44 minutes ago
Description :Serialize JavaScript serializes JavaScript values to a superset of JSON that includes regular expressions and functions. Prior to 7.1.3, the function-source escaping logic does not neutralize a bare closing-script prefix when attacker-influenced function source text ends exactly at that prefix. Because each function body is escaped independently, a delimiter supplied by surrounding serialized output can terminate an HTML script element, and a later serialized value supplies injected markup that becomes a live element in the page. Exploitation requires control of a serialized function's source text, such as through a spoofed toString(). This issue is fixed in version 7.1.3.
Severity: 2.1 | LOW
