PostCSS takes a CSS file and provides an API to analyze and modify its rules by transforming the rules into an Abstract Syntax Tree. Versions prior to 8.5.10 do not escape ` sequences when stringifying CSS ASTs. When user-submitted CSS is parsed and re-stringified for embedding in HTML tags, ` in CSS values breaks out of the style context, enabling XSS. Version 8.5.10 fixes the issue.
CVE-2026-41305
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.1 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 89% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
