silverstripe/admin
source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 1.13.6
TinyMCE 4.x is vulnerable to several XSS vectors, which had been patched in later versions. Two of these have been identified as affecting `silverstripe/admin`. Only Silverstripe CMS 4 is affected by this issue. It's not possible to upgrade Silverstripe CMS 4 to use a more recent release of TinyMCE without introducing breaking changes. Instead, the security patches that shipped in later releases of TinyMCE have been backported to the TinyMCE version bundled in `silverstripe/admin`. Silverstripe CMS 5 is not affected by those vulnerabilities because it uses TinyMCE 6. You can find more information about the underlying vulnerabilities in those GitHub security advisories: - GHSA-5h9g-x5rv-25wg Cross-site scripting vulnerability in TinyMCE - GHSA-w7jx-j77m-wp65 Cross-site scripting vulnerability in TinyMCE

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
