Cross-site scripting via unescaped embed HTML export
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Slab Quill 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser through exported HTML. The formula and video blots interpolate user-controlled values into html() strings without escaping, allowing quotes or closing tags to inject attributes or markup. Exploitation requires an application to call getSemanticHTML() or getHTML() and render the exported result as HTML, giving the injected script the application's browser context.
