Mermaid improperly sanitizes sequence diagram labels leading to XSS ### Summary In the default configuration of mermaid 11.9.0, user supplied input for sequence diagram labels is passed to `innerHTML` during calculation of element size, causing XSS. ### Details Sequence diagram node labels with KaTeX delimiters are passed through `calculateMathMLDimensions`. This method passes the full label to `innerHTML` which allows allows malicious users to inject arbitrary HTML and cause XSS when mermaid-js is used in it's default configuration (with KaTeX support enabled). The vulnerability lies here: ```ts export const calculateMathMLDimensions = async (text: string, config: MermaidConfig) => { text = await renderKatex(text, config); const divElem = document.createElement('div'); divElem.innerHTML = text; // XSS sink, text has not been sanitized. divElem.id = 'katex-temp'; divElem.style.visibility = 'hidden'; divElem.style.position = 'absolute'; divElem.style.top = '0'; const body = document.querySelector('body'); body?.insertAdjacentElement('beforeend', divElem); const dim = { width: divElem.clientWidth, height: divElem.clientHeight }; divElem.remove(); return dim; }; ``` The `calculateMathMLDimensions` method was introduced in 5c69e5fdb004a6d0a2abe97e23d26e223a059832 two years ago, which was released in [Mermaid 10.9.0](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/releases/tag/v10.9.0). ### PoC Render the following diagram and observe the modified DOM. ``` sequenceDiagram participant A as Alice<img src="x" onerror="document.write(`xss on ${document.domain}`)">$$\\text{Alice}$$ A->>John: Hello John, how are you? Alice-)John: See you later! ``` Here is a PoC on mermaid.live: https://mermaid.live/edit#pako:eNpVUMtOwzAQ_BWzyoFKaRTyaFILiio4IK7ckA-1km1iKbaLY6spUf4dJ0AF68uOZ2dm7REqXSNQ6PHDoarwWfDGcMkUudaJGysqceLKkj3hPdl3osJ7IRvSm-qBwcCAaIXGaONRrSsnUdnobITF28PQ954lwXglai25UNNhxWAXBMyXxcGOi-3kL_5k79e73atuFSUv2HWazH1IWn0m3CC5aPf4b3p2WK--BW-4DJCOWzQ3TM0HQmiMqIFa4zAEicZv4iGMsw0D26JEBtS3NR656ywDpiYv869_11r-Ko12TQv0yLveI3eqfcjP111HUNVonrRTFuhdsVgAHWEAmuRxlG7SuEzKMi-yJAnhAjTLIk_EcbFJtuk2y9MphM8lM47KIp--AOZghtU ### Impact XSS on all sites that use mermaid and render user supplied diagrams without further sanitization. ### Remediation The value of the `text` argument for the `calculateMathMLDimensions` method needs to be sanitized before getting passed on to `innerHTML`. |

| VCID-fwuk-z3uk-1ygf | Prototype pollution vulnerability found in Mermaid's bundled version of DOMPurify The following bundled files within the Mermaid NPM package contain a bundled version of DOMPurify that is vulnerable to https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify/security/advisories/GHSA-mmhx-hmjr-r674, potentially resulting in an XSS attack. This affects the built: - `dist/mermaid.min.js` - `dist/mermaid.js` - `dist/mermaid.esm.mjs` - `dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs` This will also affect users that use the above files via a CDN link, e.g. `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@10.9.2/dist/mermaid.min.js` **Users that use the default NPM export of `mermaid`, e.g. `import mermaid from 'mermaid'`, or the `dist/mermaid.core.mjs` file, do not use this bundled version of DOMPurify, and can easily update using their package manager with something like `npm audit fix`.** ### Patches - `develop` branch: 6c785c93166c151d27d328ddf68a13d9d65adc00 - backport to v10: 92a07ffe40aab2769dd1c3431b4eb5beac282b34 |
