CVE-2026-25896
fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without C/C++ based li
fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without C/C++ based libraries and no callback. From 4.1.3to before 5.3.5, a dot (.) in a DOCTYPE entity name is treated as a regex wildcard during entity replacement, allowing an attacker to shadow built-in XML entities (<, >, &, ", ') with arbitrary values. This bypasses entity encoding and leads to XSS when parsed output is rendered.
This vulnerability is fixed in 5.3.5.
