CKEditor 4 release with a security patch

We would like to announce the release of CKEditor 4.9.2 that contains a security fix for the Enhanced Image plugin, so an upgrade is highly recommended for all CKEditor 4.5.11+ installations that include it.

Security issue fixed

CKEditor 4.9.2 fixes an XSS vulnerability in the Enhanced Image (image2) plugin reported by Kyaw Min Thein. The vulnerability stemmed from the fact that it was possible to execute XSS inside CKEditor using the <img> tag and specially crafted HTML.

Please note that the default presets (Basic/Standard/Full) do not include this plugin, so you are only at risk if you made a custom build and enabled this plugin.

CKEditor versions affected: 4.5.11 and later.

We would like to thank the Drupal security team for bringing this matter to our attention and coordinating the fix and release process!
