CVE-2026-122234 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 2.3 (low) and affects jsondiffpatch; fixed in 0.7.7.

## Summary

jsondiffpatch versions before 0.7.7 contain a cross-site scripting flaw in its HTML and annotated formatters, which let an attacker inject script through an unescaped array-move destination index in a delta. An attacker can reach it remotely, without logging in, but a user must take an action, such as viewing the rendered output, before the injected script runs in the application's origin.

## Description

jsondiffpatch before 0.7.7 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject markup by supplying an unescaped array-move destination index in a delta. Attackers who control a delta passed to formatters.html.format() or formatters.annotated.format() can embed script that executes in the application's origin when output is rendered.
