CVE-2025-56795 Details
Description
Mealie 3.0.1 and earlier is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the recipe creation functionality. Unsanitized user input in the "note" and "text" fields of the "/api/recipes/{recipe_name}" endpoint is rendered in the frontend without proper escaping leading to persistent XSS.
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Mealie versions through 3.0.1. The issue arises in the recipe creation feature, specifically within the '/api/recipes/{recipe_name}' endpoint. Unsanitized user input in the 'note' and 'text' fields is saved and later displayed on the frontend without adequate escaping, allowing for the execution of injected JavaScript. This vulnerability is persistent, as the malicious scripts remain embedded in the recipe data.
Users can update to Mealie version 3.0.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
