Notification content modification via QML rich-text rendering
Published Nov 25, 2022 · Updated Nov 3, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Nextcloud Desktop before 3.6.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject HTML into client notifications. The affected QML notification components let Qt auto-detect and render attacker-controlled strings as rich text instead of plain text. Exploitation requires low-privileged server access and a victim who views the crafted notification, and the demonstrated impact is modification of displayed content.
