## Summary

HomeBox, a home inventory and organization system, is affected by a stored cross-site scripting flaw in its custom entity fields. An attacker with a low-privilege account can reach it over the network, and it needs a victim to click a booby-trapped link, after which the attacker's script runs in the victim's HomeBox session, enabling session theft, account takeover, or data exfiltration.

## Affected

- sysadminsmedia homebox: fixed in 0.27.0

## Description

HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to 0.27.0, the maybeUrl() utility accepts markdown-style links in entity custom-field values without restricting the URL scheme, so an authenticated user can store a javascript: URI that is rendered as a clickable anchor on an item page. When another authenticated user clicks the link, attacker-controlled JavaScript executes in the victim's HomeBox origin, enabling session theft, account takeover, or data exfiltration. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.0.
