Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
lichess.org is the forever free, adless and open source chess server. Any approved streamer can inject arbitrary HTML into /streamer and the homepage “Live streams” widget by placing markup in their Twitch/YouTube stream title. CSP is present and blocks inline script execution, but the issue is still a server-side HTML injection sink. To trigger this, a Lichess account only needs to satisfy the normal streamer requirements and get approved. Per Streamer.canApply, that means an account older than 2 days with at least 15 games, or a verified/titled account. After moderator approval, once the streamer goes live, Lichess pulls the platform title and renders it into the UI as-is. No extra privileges are needed beyond a normal approved streamer profile. This vulnerability is fixed with commit 0d5002696ae705e1888bf77de107c73de57bb1b3.
AnalysisAI
Stored HTML injection in lichess.org allows approved streamers to inject arbitrary markup into the /streamer page and homepage 'Live streams' widget via their Twitch or YouTube stream title, enabling defacement and phishing attacks. The vulnerability requires an attacker to first obtain an approved streamer account (accounts older than 2 days with 15+ games, or verified accounts) and then moderate approval, but no additional privileges or authentication beyond that approval is needed. …
