An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-21259 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: hedgedoc. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21259/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21259/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21259","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21259/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21259","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-44w9-vm8p-3cxw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HedgeDoc collaborative notes","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript into HedgeDoc notes, executing it in slide mode, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"hedgedoc","vendor":"hedgedoc"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"HedgeDoc is open source software which lets you create real-time collaborative markdown notes. In HedgeDoc before version 1.7.2, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript into a HedgeDoc note, which is executed when the note is viewed in slide mode. Depending on the configuration of the instance, the attacker may not need authentication to create or edit notes. The problem is patched in HedgeDoc 1.7.2. As a workaround, disallow loading JavaScript from 3rd party sites using the `Content-Security-Policy` header. Note that this will break some embedded content.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Stored XSS in slide mode","id":"CVE-2021-21259","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"XSS in description field","id":"CVE-2021-21260"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XSS injection in ajax/kanban","id":"CVE-2021-21258"},"products":["hedgedoc"],"published":"2021-01-22","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"PDF export allows arbitrary file reads","id":"CVE-2021-29475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-26"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Stored XSS in mermaid diagrams","id":"CVE-2020-26287","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-28"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"XSS vector in slide mode speaker-view","id":"CVE-2021-39175","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-30"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in Notes","id":"CVE-2021-29503","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Arbitary file upload","id":"CVE-2020-26286","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"MySQL \u0026 free URL mode allows to hide existing notes in hedgedoc","id":"CVE-2024-45308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["hedgedoc"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary JavaScript into HedgeDoc notes, executing it in slide mode, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21259/"}
