VulnerabilityCVE-2026-46492cvecve-2026-46492cwe-80cwe-87
Published: 06/09/2026 (06/09/2026, 16:09:29 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: commenthol
Product: md-fileserver

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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-46492 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting commenthol's md-fileserver before version 1.10.3. The issue arises because the Markdown rendering logic improperly neutralizes script-related HTML tags, specifically allowing embedded raw HTML such as <script> tags to be processed and injected into the rendered page without sanitization. This enables an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the security context of the affected domain, constituting a classic cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw. The vulnerability has been addressed by the vendor in version 1.10.3.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the affected domain, potentially leading to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires no privileges or user interaction to exploit.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade md-fileserver to version 1.10.3 or later, where this XSS vulnerability has been patched. No other vendor advisories or temporary mitigations are provided. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information.
