Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability manifests in HTML/XML parsing logic where: (1) The adoption agency algorithm (resetInsertionMode
) could enter infinite loops with crafted input (CWE-835), (2) Attribute parsing functions lacked bounds checks leading to performance degradation (CWE-400), and (3) Active formatting element handling allowed amplification attacks. These conclusions are supported by explicit references to these components in the 1.14.2 release notes and CWE mappings.
