Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-79.
Summary
Wanderer, a self-hosted trail database, is affected before 0.19.3. Waypoint name and icon values are inserted into an innerHTML template in the elevation profile without HTML encoding or icon validation, a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). An authenticated local user can submit crafted waypoint values, and a victim who views the elevation profile runs the attacker's script in their browser. Federated waypoints can deliver the same fields across instances without a local account on the receiving instance, and the script can expose session data or perform actions as the victim.

Description from the CNA
Wanderer is a self-hosted trail database for saving and sharing adventures. Prior to 0.19.3, an authenticated local user can submit crafted waypoint.name and waypoint.icon values that the trail elevation graph interpolates into an innerHTML template in web/src/lib/vendor/maplibre-elevation-profile/elevationprofile.ts without HTML encoding or icon validation. A victim viewing the elevation profile executes the attacker-controlled script in their browser. Separately, federated waypoints can deliver the same malicious fields across instances without requiring the attacker to have a local account on the receiving instance. The script can expose session data or perform actions in the victim's context. This issue is fixed in version 0.19.3.
