Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a Flowintel account with sufficient privileges to create or modify case titles (PR:L per CVSS 4.0). The victim must passively view the Flowintel calendar (UI:P) - simply loading the calendar page triggers rendering of all event titles via the vulnerable innerHTML sink. Flowintel version 3.3.0 or later must be deployed. No special network position or non-default configuration is required beyond the calendar feature being in use, which is a core product view. Limiting factors: attackers without case-create or case-edit rights cannot plant the payload; users who never access the calendar view are not exposed; the impact is bounded to the browser session of the calendar-viewing user rather than server-side integrity.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) accurately reflects the bounded real-world risk: exploitation requires a low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) and passive victim interaction via calendar viewing (UI:P), limiting the attack surface compared to a fully unauthenticated or zero-click flaw. The scope change (SC:L/SI:L) captures cross-user impact - a successful payload can steal session tokens or perform actions on behalf of the calendar-viewing victim. EPSS data is not available in the provided intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be numerically quantified. No KEV listing and no public exploit code are recorded, placing this in the 'no public exploit identified' category. The combination of low privileges required and the stored-XSS pattern makes this exploitable by any insider or low-trust user of the platform; incident-response teams using Flowintel for case tracking should treat this as urgent given the sensitivity of data in such environments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated Flowintel user with case-creation privileges creates a case with a title containing a JavaScript payload such as a session-cookie exfiltration script. When any other authenticated user navigates to the Flowintel calendar view, the FullCalendar rendering engine assigns the malicious title via innerHTML, causing the browser to execute the script and potentially exfiltrate the victim's session token to an attacker-controlled endpoint. No public exploit code has been identified, but the vulnerability is mechanically trivial to reproduce given knowledge of the affected code path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 27, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Flowintel's calendar view (versions >= 3.3.0) allows an authenticated user with case-creation or case-editing privileges to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into case titles, which is then executed in the browser of any user who views the calendar. The root cause is unsanitized assignment of user-controlled strings to titleEl.innerHTML. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the fix is available as an upstream commit and the vulnerability is straightforward to reproduce by any authenticated user.

RemediationAI

Apply the upstream fix available at https://github.com/flowintel/flowintel/commit/f224438eb495e6b0d4e465eb7f40ab771bbfdb66.patch, which replaces innerHTML assignments with textContent for user-derived calendar titles and switches to safe DOM element creation for static icons. Operators running Flowintel >= 3.3.0 should rebuild from the patched commit or await a tagged release from the maintainer. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict case-creation and case-editing permissions to fully trusted users only, reducing the pool of principals capable of injecting payloads - note this does not eliminate risk if any trusted user account is compromised. Content Security Policy headers that block inline script execution would reduce XSS impact but require careful tuning to avoid breaking Flowintel's own JavaScript.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Flowintel is an open-source case and incident management platform. The affected code resides in app/templates/calendar/calendar.html, where FullCalendar event rendering uses the DOM property innerHTML to assign event titles derived directly from case titles. CWE-79 (Stored XSS) applies: user-supplied input is persisted (in the case title field) and later injected into a DOM sink without sanitization. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:flowintel:flowintel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with version constraint >= 3.3.0 covers all affected releases. A secondary innerHTML usage for a download icon was also corrected in the same commit, though that instance does not depend on user input. The fix replaces innerHTML with textContent for the title and uses safe DOM element creation (createElement, classList.add, appendChild) for the icon.

DescriptionCVE.org

Affected versions of Flowintel render calendar event titles using innerHTML. Because those titles are derived from case titles, a user able to create or modify a case title could store HTML or script-capable content that is later interpreted by the browser when another user views the calendar.

The fix changes:

titleEl.innerHTML = arg.event.title

to:

titleEl.textContent = arg.event.title || ''

and similarly stops using innerHTML for the static download icon.
