Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-33295 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- joplin (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.5\n- joplin (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.5\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-2021-33295/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33295/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-33295","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33295/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-33295","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-phj8-2p6x-hq5r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Joplin Desktop App","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via XSS in Joplin Desktop App due to improper HTML sanitization.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"joplin","vendor":"joplin_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Joplin Desktop App before 1.8.5 allows attackers to execute aribrary code due to improper sanitizing of html.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Joplin Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability via NOSCRIPT tags","id":"CVE-2021-33295","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33304"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.8.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"joplin","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-phj8-2p6x-hq5r"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["1.8.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"joplin","purl":"pkg:npm/joplin","source":"GHSA-phj8-2p6x-hq5r"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33294"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-06-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Joplin Vulnerable to Code Injection","id":"CVE-2022-23340","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-08"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Joplin has a parsing error leading to Cross-site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-40643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-09"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Arbitrary code execution on click of PDF links in Joplin","id":"CVE-2023-45673","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Joplin server via user patch endpoint","id":"CVE-2025-27134","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-30"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Safe mode Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Joplin","id":"CVE-2023-37898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-21"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) when pasting HTML into the rich text editor in Joplin","id":"CVE-2023-38506","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-21"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Cross site scripting (XSS) when clicking on an untrusted `\u003cmap\u003e` link in Joplin","id":"CVE-2023-39517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via XSS in Joplin Desktop App due to improper HTML sanitization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33295/"}
