GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2026-34231

Summary

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the {% attrs %} template tag of the slippers Django package. When a context variable containing untrusted data is passed to {% attrs %}, the value is interpolated into an HTML attribute string without escaping, allowing an attacker to break out of the attribute context and inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into the rendered page.

Vulnerability details

Root cause

AttrsNode is a custom Node subclass registered via register.tag(). Unlike register.simple_tag(), which automatically applies conditional_escape() when autoescape is on, custom Node.render() methods receive no automatic escaping and are fully responsible for sanitising their output. attr_string() fails to do this:

def attr_string(key: str, value: Any):
    if isinstance(value, bool):
        return key if value else ""
    key = key.replace("_", "-")
    return f'{key}="{value}"'   # value is not escaped

Attack scenario

Given a template that uses {% attrs %} with a user-supplied value:

{% load slippers %}
<input {% attrs type placeholder %}>

render(request, "search.html", {"placeholder": request.GET.get("q", "")})

An attacker crafting a request with q=" onmouseover="alert(document.cookie)" x=" produces:

<input type="text" placeholder="" onmouseover="alert(document.cookie)" x="">

Impact

Any template that passes values derived from user input, database content, or other untrusted sources to {% attrs %} is vulnerable. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim, and page defacement.

Remediation

Replace the f-string in attr_string() with format_html(), which escapes both key and value:

from django.utils.html import format_html

def attr_string(key: str, value: Any):
    if isinstance(value, bool):
        return key if value else ""
    key = key.replace("_", "-")
    return format_html('{}="{}"', key, value)

Until a patch is available, sanitise untrusted values before passing them to {% attrs %}, for example with django.utils.html.escape() in the view layer.
