CVE-2025-53834Network attack vector

Script execution via unsanitized toast messages

Published Jul 14, 2025 · Updated Jul 15, 2025

Reflected XSS in Caido before 0.49.0 allows remote attackers to execute scripts in a user interface through crafted proxied input. The toast UI renders unsanitized input from Match&Replace or Scope messages, causing attacker-controlled markup to execute as script. Exploitation requires a user to process the crafted input and trigger the affected toast, exposing data and actions available to that Caido session.
