CVE-2025-24028 Details
Description
Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. This vulnerability is caused by differences between how Joplin's HTML sanitizer handles comments and how the browser handles comments. This affects both the Rich Text Editor and the Markdown viewer. However, unlike the Rich Text Editor, the Markdown viewer is `cross-origin isolated`, which prevents JavaScript from directly accessing functions/variables in the toplevel Joplin `window`. This issue is not present in Joplin 3.1.24 and may have been introduced in `9b50539`. This is an XSS vulnerability that impacts users that open untrusted notes in the Rich Text Editor. This vulnerability has been addressed in version 3.2.12 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Joplin, a note-taking application, specifically in versions 3.2.6 through 3.2.11. This vulnerability arises from a discrepancy between Joplin's HTML sanitizer and how browsers process comments, affecting both the Rich Text Editor and the Markdown viewer. However, the Markdown viewer's cross-origin isolation prevents direct access to the Joplin window, a vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution from the Rich Text Editor. The issue was not present in Joplin 3.1.24 and may have been introduced in a previous version.
Users are advised to upgrade to Joplin version 3.2.12 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
