Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution when interacting with untrusted MQTT brokers or topics. Avoid hovering over suspicious topic names or JSON tree nodes. Monitor official MQTTX channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.

Description

MQTTX desktop versions up to 1.13.3 have a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers who control an MQTT broker or publish to subscribed topics to inject malicious scripts via MQTT topic names or payloads. These scripts execute in the Electron renderer process with nodeIntegration enabled when victims hover over certain UI elements, such as Topic Tree or JSON tree nodes. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.1, indicating medium severity.
