Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-13 15:30 – Updated: 2025-08-13 21:30

Details

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in MarkTwo commit e3a1d3f90cce4ea9c26efcbbf3a1cbfb9dcdb298 (May 2025) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted script input to the editor interface. The application does not properly sanitize user-supplied Markdown before rendering it. Successful exploitation could lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or arbitrary client-side code execution in the context of the victim's browser.

Severity

6.1 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
