Description (CNA)
xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` module. In @xmldom/xmldom prior to versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13 and xmldom version 0.6.0 and prior, the package allows attacker-controlled comment content to be serialized into XML without validating or neutralizing comment-breaking sequences. As a result, an attacker can terminate the comment early and inject arbitrary XML nodes into the serialized output. This issue has been patched in versions @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13.

No English description supplied.
A flaw was found in xmldom and @xmldom/xmldom, a JavaScript module for parsing and serializing XML. This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious content into XML comments. By doing so, the attacker can prematurely close a comment and insert unauthorized XML elements into the final output. This could lead to the manipulation of data within the XML document.
