- Also known as: GHSA-32Q2-HHR5-6QVV
- Severity: CVSS 7.2 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=partial

- Published: 2026-06-09 · Updated: 2026-06-09

## Affected

- commenthol md-fileserver: fixed in 1.10.3
- md-fileserver (npm): fixed in 1.10.3

## Description

md-fileserver allows for local viewing of markdown files in a browser. Prior to version 1.10.3, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the application’s Markdown rendering logic. When user-supplied Markdown content is rendered, embedded raw HTML—including <script> tags—is processed and injected into the resulting page without sanitization, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the affected domain. This issue has been patched in version 1.10.3.

## What to do
