Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

xmldom 是一个纯 JavaScript 实现的、基于 W3C 标准（XML DOM Level 2 Core）的 DOMParser 和 XMLSerializer 模块。 在 @xmldom/xmldom 0.8.14 和 0.9.11 之前，以及在 xmldom 0.6.0 及更早版本中， 调用私有的 路径时，并未对属性名进行验证；而 则会针对 QName 进行验证。 会按原样输出属性名，且 并未对这些属性名进行验证。因此，经过构造的属性名可以终止预期的属性，并向供浏览器消费的输出中注入额外属性（包括事件

Vulnerability Title
xmldom: Attribute name injection via setAttribute() bypasses requireWellFormed
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) DOMParser and XMLSerializer module. Prior to @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and 0.9.11, and in xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier, Element.setAttribute() calls the private _createAttribute(name) path without validating the attribute name, while Document.createAttribute(name) validates against QName. XMLSerializer.serializeToString() emits attribute names verbatim, and requireWellFormed: true did not validate them, so a crafted name can terminate the intended attribute and inject additional attributes, including event handlers, into browser-consumed output; synthesized xmlns:PREFIX declarations expose the same unchecked-name boundary. This issue is fixed in @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.8.14 and 0.9.11; no fixed version is available for xmldom.
