CVE-2021-47841Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Code execution via unsanitized snippet dynamic values

Published Jan 16, 2026 · Updated Jan 16, 2026

Persistent XSS in SnipCommand 0.1.0 allows attackers to execute operating-system commands after a user opens a malicious snippet file. When SnipCommand displays file or title dynamic values, it interprets injected HTML event handlers rather than neutralizing them as text. The user must open the crafted file or render the poisoned title; the payload then runs with the desktop application's privileges.
