CVE-2026-23630

Docmost is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) through Mermaid rendering

Published Jan 21, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. In versions 0.3.0 through 0.23.2, Mermaid code block rendering is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The frontend can render attacker-controlled Mermaid diagrams using mermaid.render(), then inject the returned SVG/HTML into the DOM via dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization. Mermaid per-diagram %%{init}%% directives allow overriding securityLevel and enabling htmlLabels, permitting arbitrary HTML/JS execution for any viewer. This issue has been fixed in version 0.24.0.
