node-xmldom: xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module
CVE-2026-83609 is fixed in node-xmldom on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-83609 (version 0.9.12-1), released September 8, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module. From 0.9.0 until 0.9.12, the shared reg() builder in lib/grammar.js compiles the anchored QName_exact validator with the multiline flag, so ^ and $ validate only one line instead of the complete name. createElementNS, createAttributeNS, createDocumentType, and createAttribute consequently accept a malformed XML name whose first line is valid and whose later text injects markup when serialized through either the default path or requireWellFormed: true. The triggering ECMAScript line terminators are U+000A, U+000D, U+2028, and U+2029. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom version 0.9.12.
