Wagtail 2.7.4 release notes | ||
=========================== | ||

CVE-2020-15118: HTML injection through form field help text | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
This release addresses an HTML injection vulnerability through help text in the ``wagtail.contrib.forms`` form builder app. When a form page type is made available to Wagtail editors, and the page template is built using Django's standard form rendering helpers such as ``form.as_p`` :ref:`(as directed in the documentation) <form_builder_usage>`, any HTML tags used within a form field's help text will be rendered unescaped in the page. Allowing HTML within help text is `an intentional design decision by Django <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.Field.help_text>`_; however, as a matter of policy Wagtail does not allow editors to insert arbitrary HTML by default, as this could potentially be used to carry out cross-site scripting attacks, including privilege escalation. This functionality should therefore not have been made available to editor-level users. | ||
|
||
The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. | ||
|
||
Site owners who wish to re-enable the use of HTML within help text (and are willing to accept the risk of this being exploited by editors) may set ``WAGTAILFORMS_HELP_TEXT_ALLOW_HTML = True`` in their configuration settings. | ||
|
||
Many thanks to Timothy Bautista for reporting this issue. | ||
