GHSA-5qr2-v392-m9g8
SWC HTML minifier may allow script element breakout when minifying embedded JSON
Quick fix
GHSA-5qr2-v392-m9g8 — @swc/html: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @swc/html@1.15.47-nightly-20260729.1Details
## Impact
`@swc/html` minifies JSON contained in `script` elements such as `application/json` and `application/ld+json` by parsing and serializing the JSON value.
Before the patched versions, JSON serialization could convert escaped less-than signs such as `\u003C` into literal `<` characters. If the JSON contained an escaped `</script>` sequence, the generated HTML could terminate the containing script element early because HTML tokenization occurs before the JSON is consumed.
Applications that minify HTML containing attacker-controlled JSON data could therefore transform inert data into active markup. A crafted payload could execute script in the origin of the generated page.
## Patches
The issue is fixed in:
- `@swc/html` 1.15.47 - `swc_html_minifier` 59.0.0
The minifier now re-escapes less-than signs after JSON serialization, preserving the script element boundary.
## Workarounds
Users who cannot upgrade can disable JSON minification with:
```js await minify(html, { minifyJson: false, });
