Cross-site scripting via unescaped SVG style attributes
Published Feb 13, 2026 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Cross-site scripting in Luki Labs beautiful-mermaid before 0.1.3 allows remote attackers to execute script via crafted Mermaid diagrams. The SVG renderer interpolates fill, stroke, stroke-width, and color values from style and classDef directives into attributes without XML escaping. A consuming application must render attacker-controlled input and embed the resulting SVG in a web page, where execution occurs within the embedding origin.
