Summary
buku from 5.0 through 5.1.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the bukuserver bookmark list, because bookmark URLs are not escaped when rendered (CWE-79). An unauthenticated remote attacker can store a crafted bookmark URL through the bookmarks API, so script runs in the browser of users who view the list. That script can send same-origin API requests using the viewer's credentials.
