TinaCMS: Cross-origin postMessage handlers and rich-text URL-sanitization bypass enable stored XSS and session takeover
Packages

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
TinaCMS registers window message listeners — the useTina overlay handler, the OAuth authentication popup handler, and the admin↔preview iframe GraphQL reducer — that act on event.data without verifying event.origin or event.source, and post messages using non-specific target origins. A page the victim visits (or a window in an opener/iframe relationship with a Tina admin) can forge messages to drive the editor, inject preview content, or observe/forge the OAuth popup channel to take over an authenticated editing session.
Fixed in [#7056](https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms/pull/7056) by allow-listing trusted origins and verifying event.source (isFromAdmin, isFromTrustedPreviewOrigin), and by posting only to explicit target origins (never "*").
Note: the rich-text URL-sanitization issue previously bundled here has been split into its own advisory (GHSA-2vcc-5v34-9jc8) so each vulnerability can receive a distinct CVE.
