CVE-2026-33978 Details
Description
Notesnook is a note-taking app focused on user privacy & ease of use. Prior to version 3.3.17, a stored XSS vulnerability exists in the mobile share / web clip flow because attacker-controlled clip metadata is concatenated into HTML without escaping and then rendered with innerHTML inside the mobile share editor WebView. An attacker can control the shared title metadata (for example through Android/iOS share metadata such as TITLE / SUBJECT, or through link-preview title data) and inject HTML such as </a><img src=x onerror=...>. When the victim opens the Notesnook share flow and selects Web clip, the payload is inserted into the generated HTML and executed in the mobile editor WebView. This issue has been patched in version 3.3.17.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Notesnook, a privacy-focused note-taking app, prior to version 3.3.17. The issue arises in the mobile share and web clip functionality, where attacker-controlled metadata is injected into the HTML without proper escaping. This unescaped data is then rendered using innerHTML in the mobile share editor's WebView. An attacker can exploit this by manipulating the shared title metadata, such as through Android or iOS share options or link previews, to include harmful HTML, which is executed when the recipient opens the share flow and selects the web clip option.
Users can update to Notesnook version 3.3.17 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
