AI-suggested

This vulnerability is fixed in Rocket.Chat version 8.5.0. Users and administrators should upgrade to version 8.5.0 or later to remediate this issue. Until upgrading, caution should be exercised regarding markdown image content from authenticated users.

Description

Rocket.Chat is an open-source, secure, fully customizable communications platform. Prior to 8.5.0, the ImageElement component in packages/gazzodown renders user-controlled src values directly into <a href> and <img src> attributes without protocol sanitization. Unlike the analogous LinkSpan component — which uses sanitizeUrl to block javascript:, data:, and vbscript: protocols — ImageElement passes the raw URL through unchanged. An authenticated user can post a markdown image with a javascript: URL that, if clicked on an older browser, would execute arbitrary JavaScript in the viewer's session. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.5.0.
