CVE-2026-91146 Details
Description
Takahe through 0.11.0 fails to restrict URL schemes in link hrefs within federated post content and profile summaries, allowing remote actors to inject javascript: links. Attackers can deliver federated content with malicious javascript: hrefs that execute in the instance origin when clicked, enabling session hijacking or impersonation of viewers.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Takahe versions through 0.11.0. The issue arises because the application fails to properly restrict URL schemes in link hrefs within federated post content and profile summaries. This oversight allows remote actors to inject 'javascript:' links that, when clicked, execute in the instance origin. As a result, this vulnerability could lead to session hijacking or impersonation of viewers.
