Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

SunEditor's Embed plugin, in npm package suneditor versions from 3.0.0 before 3.1.4, has a DOM-based cross-site scripting flaw. Embed HTML that places a script element with an external src after a valid iframe bypasses the plugin's sanitization and is re-created and appended to the live page. An attacker who can supply or store embed HTML could run JavaScript in another user's browser when that content is opened, previewed, or edited, especially where the application does not sanitize the content on the backend. Upgrade suneditor to 3.1.4, which is the listed fixed version.
