Stored XSS via unsanitized memo rendering
Published Dec 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 9, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Memos before 0.9.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute script when another user views a crafted memo. MemoContent converts stored memo text to HTML with the custom marked parser and inserts the result into the page without adequate neutralization. A viewer must open the crafted memo; the script then runs in that viewer's browser and can read or modify data available to the session.
