Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 6 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Upgrade to open-wanderer wanderer version 0.19.3 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or workaround is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CVE-2026-62346 is a high-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in open-wanderer wanderer versions prior to 0.19.3. Authenticated local users can submit crafted waypoint.name and waypoint.icon values that are improperly handled in the elevation profile rendering, leading to script execution in the browser of any victim viewing the profile. Additionally, federated waypoints can propagate this malicious input across instances without requiring local accounts on the target instance. The vulnerability allows attackers to expose session data or perform actions in the victim's context. The issue is fixed in version 0.19.3.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser session when viewing the elevation profile. This can lead to exposure of session data and unauthorized actions performed with the victim's privileges. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity but does not impact availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.6 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, user interaction, and scope change.

Summary

The vulnerability arises from the interpolation of attacker-controlled waypoint.name and waypoint.icon values into an innerHTML template in the elevation profile component (web/src/lib/vendor/maplibre-elevation-profile/elevationprofile.ts) without proper HTML encoding or icon validation. This enables stored cross-site scripting when a victim views the elevation profile. Federated waypoints can deliver the malicious payload across instances, expanding the attack surface beyond local authenticated users. The flaw is addressed by the vendor in version 0.19.3.
