Updated

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted "protected" comment (with the ckeprotected syntax).

Other sources

CKEditor is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the HTML Data Processor. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted protected comment to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
