CVE-2026-85061Critical XSS in MapLibre GL JS

MapLibre GL JS is an interactive vector tile map library for web browsers. Prior to 6.4.1, DOM.sanitize() in src/util/dom.ts iterates elem.attributes as a live NamedNodeMap while removeAttributes() removes attributes from the same collection, shifting indexes and skipping an adjacent dangerous attribute. An attacker who controls untrusted third-party style attribution strings or user-supplied custom attributions can supply consecutive dangerous attributes, causing an attribute such as onload or ontoggle to survive sanitization and execute when the attribution control inserts the content into innerHTML. A victim must render the affected map content for the script to execute. This issue is fixed in version 6.4.1.

Analysis

MapLibre GL JS permite la ejecución de scripts maliciosos (XSS) a través de cadenas de atribución de mapas manipuladas. Una falla en la lógica de sanitización de su componente DOM permite que atributos peligrosos como onload sobrevivan al proceso de limpieza y se ejecuten en el navegador del usuario. Es necesario actualizar a la versión 6.4.1 para mitigar este riesgo en aplicaciones web que utilizan mapas interactivos.
