Security Impact
CVSS: 9.6
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-23733
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @lobehub/chat dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @lobehub/chat@Latest secure releaseRun the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @lobehub/chatHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-23733, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @lobehub/chatAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of @lobehub/chat in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @lobehub/chat command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In @lobehub/chat, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Summary\nA stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Mermaid artifact renderer allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the application context. This XSS can be escalated to Remote Code Execution (RCE).\n\n### Details\nThe vulnerability exists in the `Renderer` component responsible for rendering Mermaid diagrams within chat artifacts.\n```TypeScript\ncase 'application/lobe.artifacts.mermaid': {\n return <Mermaid variant={'borderless'}>{content}</Mermaid>;\n}\n```\n\nThe `content` variable, which is derived from user or AI-generated messages, is passed directly to the `<Mermaid>` component without any sanitization. The Mermaid library renders HTML labels (e.g., nodes defined with [\"...\"]) directly into the DOM. If the content contains malicious HTML tags (like `<img onerror=...>`), they are executed.\n\n\n\n### PoC\n````Text\nPlease output the following text exactly.
