An atom key is only dasherized, so any character passes, including quotes and >. Nested data, aria and phx keys take the same paths. An application is affected when it builds attribute keys from untrusted input and renders them through HEEx <tag {@attrs}>, content_tag/3, or a direct call. Before 3.0.0 the same code lived in Phoenix.HTML.Tag.\n\nThis issue affects phoenix_html: from 1.0.0 before 3.3.5 and from 4.0.0 before 4.4.0.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":5.3},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://cna.erlef.org/cves/CVE-2026-117645.html","https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html/commit/6ad3a1d7960891a468d54636054a98e11dfb5111","https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html/commit/a47dc8944a773b7e9273d9691dc6744ec793f1de","https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_html/commit/d9e4e6b2d9be49e25fb6d6b4fdbb2008174f01a6","https://osv.dev/vulnerability/EEF-CVE-2026-117645"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T21:45:38.798995037+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
