MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | OneUptime versions prior to 10.0.23 with Markdown viewer rendering any user-controlled content (incident descriptions, status page announcements, monitor notes) using Mermaid with securityLevel set to 'loose'. Authenticated user access required to input malicious markdown; victim user must view the rendered content. |
| Impact | Despite the high CVSS score of 7.6, the real-world risk appears moderate. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N) indicates network-accessible with low complexity but requires authentication (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R). The extremely low EPSS score of 0.03% (9th percentile) suggests minimal exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no known active exploitation. The 'Changed Scope' (S:C) elevates the CVSS score but the practical impact is limited to authenticated contexts. This is a priority for organizations using OneUptime but not a critical emergency given the authentication requirement and lack of wild exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker with basic user privileges creates or edits content containing markdown (such as an incident report or status page update) and embeds a malicious Mermaid diagram with a click directive like 'click A javascript:alert(document.cookie)'. When another user views this content, the JavaScript executes in their browser context, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. No public proof-of-concept exists, but the attack is straightforward given the documented vulnerability details. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 13, 2026
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in OneUptime monitoring platform versions prior to 10.0.23, where the Markdown viewer component renders Mermaid diagrams with insecure settings that allow arbitrary JavaScript execution. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can inject malicious JavaScript through any markdown field (incident descriptions, status pages, monitor notes), potentially compromising other users' sessions. With an EPSS score of only 0.03% and no KEV listing, this appears to be a theoretical risk with no observed exploitation in the wild.
RemediationAI
Update OneUptime to version 10.0.23 or later, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. The patch is available at https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/releases/tag/10.0.23. As a temporary mitigation, organizations could restrict markdown editing permissions to trusted users only or disable Mermaid diagram rendering if not required. Review and sanitize any existing markdown content that may contain malicious Mermaid click directives.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from OneUptime's Markdown viewer component using Mermaid (a diagramming library) with securityLevel set to 'loose' and injecting SVG output via innerHTML. This configuration explicitly enables interactive event bindings through Mermaid's 'click' directive, violating CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). The vulnerability affects the OneUptime monitoring and management platform, which is used for tracking online service availability and incidents. The root cause is insufficient input sanitization combined with unsafe rendering practices for user-controlled markdown content.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
OneUptime is a solution for monitoring and managing online services. Prior to 10.0.23, the Markdown viewer component renders Mermaid diagrams with securityLevel: "loose" and injects the SVG output via innerHTML. This configuration explicitly allows interactive event bindings in Mermaid diagrams, enabling XSS through Mermaid's click directive which can execute arbitrary JavaScript. Any field that renders markdown (incident descriptions, status page announcements, monitor notes) is vulnerable. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.0.23.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-32308 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in OneUptime that could allow authenticated users to inject malicious code through markdown fields, potentially compromising other users' sessions and data. While no active exploitation has been observed and the theoretical exploitation probability is extremely low (0.03% EPSS), the vulnerability affects any organization using OneUptime versions before 10.0.23 and requires prompt remediation due to the lack of available patches.
Disable Mermaid diagram rendering in markdown viewer until patch is available; restrict markdown editing permissions to high-privilege users only; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious JavaScript patterns in POST requests to markdown endpoints; enable Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution scope; segment OneUptime access to trusted networks only; enforce multi-factor authentication for all OneUptime users to reduce session compromise impact.
