CVE-2026-25896 – fast-xml-parser has an entity encoding bypass via regex injection in DOCTYPE entity names

Posted on February 20, 2026
CVE ID : CVE-2026-25896

Published : Feb. 20, 2026, 9:19 p.m. | 43 minutes ago

Description : fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without C/C++ based libraries and no callback. From 4.1.3to before 5.3.5, a dot (.) in a DOCTYPE entity name is treated as a regex wildcard during entity replacement, allowing an attacker to shadow built-in XML entities (<, >, &, “, ‘) with arbitrary values. This bypasses entity encoding and leads to XSS when parsed output is rendered. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.3.5.

Severity: 9.3 | CRITICAL
