Browser script execution via unsanitized link schemes
Published Jan 1, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025
Stored XSS in LINAGORA Twake before 2023.Q1.1200+ allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript through crafted links. Frontend link renderers pass stored message, preview, and integration URLs directly to anchor href attributes without removing javascript schemes. A highly privileged account must store the link and another user must open it, enabling script execution in that user's browser context.
