Stored XSS via unsafe node description rendering
Published May 14, 2026 · Updated May 14, 2026
Stored XSS in Reconurge Flowsint before 1.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript when a crafted node is selected. The details panel passes node.data.description directly to React dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitizing the HTML stored by the node API. Current investigations are limited to one user, so the advisory's cross-user session-hijacking scenario is not reachable in the affected default design.
