Remote code execution via unsanitized Mermaid HTML
Published Dec 3, 2025 · Updated Dec 3, 2025
Stored XSS in ThinkInAIXYZ DeepChat 0.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute commands through rendered Mermaid content. MermaidArtifact.vue assigns untrusted diagram content to innerHTML before sanitization, exposing ipcRenderer calls that register and start an unchecked MCP command. Exploitation requires the application to render attacker-controlled content, but default settings suffice and commands run with the victim's account privileges.
