DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. In versions 0.3.0 through 0.23.2, Mermaid code block rendering is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The frontend can render attacker-controlled Mermaid diagrams using mermaid.render(), then inject the returned SVG/HTML into the DOM via dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization. Mermaid per-diagram %%{init}%% directives allow overriding securityLevel and enabling htmlLabels, permitting arbitrary HTML/JS execution for any viewer. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24.0.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in Docmost 0.3.0-0.23.2 allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of document viewers through malicious Mermaid diagram code blocks. The vulnerability exists because unsanitized SVG/HTML output from Mermaid rendering is directly injected into the DOM, and Mermaid's security controls can be disabled via diagram directives. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, which is fixed in version 0.24.0.
