DescriptionNVD

Notesnook is a note-taking app. Prior to version 3.3.11 on Web/Desktop and 3.3.17 on Android/iOS, a stored XSS in the Web Clipper rendering flow can be escalated to remote code execution in the desktop app. The root cause is that the clipper preserves attacker-controlled attributes from the source page’s root element and stores them inside web-clip HTML. When the clip is later opened, Notesnook renders that HTML into a same-origin, unsandboxed iframe using contentDocument.write(...). Event-handler attributes such as onload, onclick, or onmouseover execute in the Notesnook origin. In the desktop app, this becomes RCE because Electron is configured with nodeIntegration: true and contextIsolation: false. Version 3.3.11 Web/Desktop and 3.3.17 on Android/iOS patch the issue.

AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Victim must use Notesnook Web/Desktop (before v3.3.11) or Android/iOS (before v3.3.17). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Despite the Critical 9.6 CVSS score, real-world risk requires contextual interpretation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker creates a malicious webpage containing a root HTML element with embedded event handlers such as <html onload='malicious_code'> and induces a Notesnook user to clip this page using the Web Clipper browser extension, perhaps by disguising it as legitimate research content or documentation. When the victim later opens the saved clip within the Notesnook desktop application, the unsanitized onload attribute executes arbitrary JavaScript in the application's security context. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Upgrade immediately to Notesnook version 3.3.11 for Web/Desktop platforms or version 3.3.17 for Android/iOS mobile applications. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all Notesnook Web Clipper installations across the organization (web, desktop, Android, iOS) and document current versions. …
