Description
CVE-2026-18320 is a medium severity client-side cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Readwise Reader for Android versions 8.7.2 up to but not including 8.10.1. The issue arises because the sanitize-html configuration permits all attributes on SVG and PATH elements, including script-capable event handler attributes like 'onload' and 'onerror'. This allows an attacker to craft malicious SVG content that bypasses sanitization and executes scripts when rendered in the Reader WebView.
