Hi
I found a known XSS vulnerability in the recent version of nuxt-headless.
In particular, the bug we report is a known bug by CVE-2019-20041.
wp_kses_bad_protocol in wp-includes/kses.php in WordPress before 5.3.1 mishandles the HTML5 colon named entity, allowing attackers to bypass input sanitization, as demonstrated by the javascript: substring.
Please check this line:
nuxt-headless/wordpress/wp-includes/kses.php
Line 1325 in 197ae9f
Thanks!
