CVE-2026-43887 Details
Description
Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. From 0.84.0 to 1.6.1, the Outline comment section permits users to mention other users; however, the backend does not validate or sanitize the href attribute associated with these mentions. As a result, potentially dangerous protocols (e.g., javascript:) are not filtered, introducing a risk of client-side code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Outline versions 0.84.0 prior to 1.6.1. The issue arises in the comment section, where users can mention others. The backend fails to properly validate or sanitize the href attribute of these mentions, allowing potentially harmful protocols, such as javascript:, to be introduced. This oversight creates a risk of client-side code execution. The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.7.0.
Users can update to Outline version 1.7.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
