Stored XSS via unsanitized attachment URLs
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Stored XSS in Docmost before 0.71.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. Page services validate attachment-node JSON structure but leave its URL scheme unchanged, and the attachment renderer copies that URL into an anchor while getFileUrl passes unknown schemes through. Page-edit access and a victim clicking the stored attachment link are required; execution occurs within the Docmost origin.
