CVE-2026-45668 Details
Description
Trilium Notes is a cross-platform, hierarchical note taking application focused on building large personal knowledge bases. Prior to 0.102.2, a malicious ZIP archive imported with safe import enabled achieves RCE via #docName path traversal and XSS by combining a payload note (type: code, mime: text/plain) containing raw HTML/JS and a trigger note (type: doc or type: launcher) with a #docName label that uses ../ path traversal to point at the payload note's API endpoint. The desktop client Electron renderer runs with nodeIntegration enabled, so an RCE is triggered once the payload is executed. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.102.2.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Trilium Notes versions prior to 0.102.2. This issue arises from a path traversal vulnerability in the '#docName' label, which can be exploited by importing a malicious ZIP archive with safe import enabled. The vulnerability allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) by combining a payload note containing raw HTML/JavaScript with a trigger note that uses path traversal to access the payload note's API endpoint. The desktop client's Electron renderer, which has nodeIntegration enabled, executes the payload, leading to remote code execution.
Users should update to Trilium Notes version 0.102.2 or later.
