Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Github.com/k1LoW/mo, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary When rendering Markdown files containing inline SVG elements with `<script>` tags, the embedded JavaScript is executed in the browser. This is due to `rehype-raw` passing raw HTML (including SVG) through to the DOM without sanitization. ### PoC ```html <svg><script>alert(1)</script></svg> ``` Embedding the above in a Markdown file opened with mo causes the script to execute. ### Impact Arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the mo application when a user opens a malicious Markdown file. This could lead to data exfiltration of other opened Markdown file contents. ### Remediation Fixed by adding `rehype-sanitize` to the Markdown rendering pipeline, which strips dangerous elements such as `<script>` while preserving safe HTML.
