Session compromise via unescaped mesh node name
Published May 28, 2026 · Updated May 28, 2026
Stored XSS in MeshCore Card before 0.3.3 allows physically proximate attackers to execute JavaScript through a crafted node name. The contact card inserts the unescaped adv_name attribute from Home Assistant state into HTML, so a received MeshCore node name becomes executable markup. Any node within direct or repeated LoRa radio range can trigger execution when a user views the card, exposing the user's Home Assistant session and device controls.
