CVE-2025-15056 (GHSA-v3m3-f69x-jf25): Request for patched version / maintainer guidance #4802

Description

Summary

CVE-2025-15056 / GHSA-v3m3-f69x-jf25 reports an XSS vulnerability in Quill's HTML export feature affecting v2.0.3. As of today (2026-04-17), the GitHub Advisory lists `Patched versions: None` and the latest published tag on npm is still `2.0.3`.

Our security scanner (Semgrep Supply Chain) flags this as a blocking finding across our project, and we rely on Quill's rich-text editor in production.

Questions for maintainers

  1. Is a patched release planned? Any ETA for `2.0.4` or similar that addresses CVE-2025-15056?
  2. Recommended mitigation while awaiting an official fix — beyond disabling HTML export entirely, what does the team suggest? (e.g., DOMPurify sanitization before `root.innerHTML` access and around `dangerouslyPasteHTML`, a CSP tweak, etc.)
  3. Dev-channel / experimental build — the `dev` dist-tag currently resolves to `2.0.0-dev.4` which predates the vulnerable code path, and there's no `next` tag. Is there an in-progress branch we could track or test?

Environment

  • Quill: `2.0.3` (latest, from `npm view quill version`)
  • Usage pattern (representative):
    ```js
    import Quill from 'quill';
    const quill = new Quill(el, { theme: 'snow' });
    quill.on('text-change', () => {
    const html = quill.root.innerHTML; // flagged sink
    });
    quill.clipboard.dangerouslyPasteHTML(userContent); // flagged sink
    ```

Why this matters

Many downstream users (we're one of potentially thousands, given Quill's popularity) rely on a patched release landing in the `2.x` line so we can bump without forking or rewriting the editor integration. An officially-blessed mitigation pattern in the README or SECURITY.md would also help teams that can't wait.

Happy to test any preview builds or contribute a PR if there's consensus on the fix approach. Thanks for the project!
