Stored XSS via unsanitized Markdown preview
Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026
Stored XSS in Kestra 1.1.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript when another user previews a crafted Markdown file. FilePreview.vue passes execution-file preview content to Markdown.vue, which enables raw HTML and assigns the unsanitized result to Vue's v-html. A user who can create and execute a flow can store the payload, but code runs only after another authenticated user opens the output preview, exposing that user's Kestra session and API privileges.
