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 desktop application versions 9.1.2 and earlier enables arbitrary JavaScript execution within the Electron/Chromium renderer by injecting payloads into unsanitized model node names, types, and attribute descriptions. Reported by HiddenLayer, the vulnerability allows an attacker who can deliver a crafted ML model file to hide graph nodes, conduct local network port scanning, and - when chained with a Chrome n-day exploit - escalate to full Remote Code Execution on the victim's machine. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft model file with XSS payload in node name or description
Delivery
Deliver file via repository, email, or dataset channel
Exploit
Victim opens file in Netron ≤9.1.2
Execution
Unsanitized innerHTML executes JavaScript in Electron renderer
Persist
Enumerate local network via embedded port-scan script
Impact
Chain with Chrome n-day to escape renderer and achieve Remote Code Execution

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must open a maliciously crafted ML model file (any Netron-supported format such as ONNX, TensorFlow SavedModel, Keras, or PyTorch) in Netron desktop application version 9.1.2 or earlier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) accurately reflects the local-file attack vector and passive user interaction requirement. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious ONNX or other Netron-supported model file with an XSS payload embedded in a node name or attribute description field, then delivers it to a target data scientist through a shared model repository, email, or dataset distribution channel. When the victim opens the file in Netron 9.1.2 or earlier, the unsanitized payload executes in the Electron renderer, enabling immediate actions such as local port scanning for network reconnaissance or manipulation of the visible model graph. …
Remediation Upgrade Netron to a release that incorporates commit cd14bad8c9132b1aaf1d197fe61925575f194f00 - monitor the Netron GitHub releases page for a version tagged beyond 9.1.2, as a specific fix-release version is not confirmed from the available data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
