Description
Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application. A Cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in affected versions allows clicking on an untrusted image link to execute arbitrary shell commands. The HTML sanitizer (packages/renderer/htmlUtils.ts::sanitizeHtml) preserves <map> <area> links. However, unlike <a> links, the target and href attributes are not removed. Additionally, because the note preview pane isn’t sandboxed to prevent top navigation, links with target set to _top can replace the toplevel electron page. Because any toplevel electron page, with Joplin’s setup, has access to require and can require node libraries, a malicious replacement toplevel page can import child_process and execute arbitrary shell commands. This issue has been fixed in commit 7c52c3e9a81a52ef1b42a951f9deb9d378d59b0f which is included in release version 2.12.8. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
