NoteGen through 0.38.3 contains an external control of file path vulnerability in chat image analysis that allows attackers to read local image files via unvalidated synced sourceUrl paths. Attackers with write access to the victim's sync target can plant absolute paths or file:// URLs, causing image_inspect to send local images to the AI provider.

NoteGen versions prior to 0.32.0 include a vulnerability where the Tauri shell plugin grants shell:allow-execute capability for bash, python, and python3 with arbitrary arguments by default. This allows JavaScript running in the application's webview to execute operating system commands with the privileges of the NoteGen process. If an attacker can execute scripts in the webview (e.g., via cross-site scripting), they can achieve full remote code execution on the user's machine.

NoteGen versions prior to 0.32.0 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper sanitization of AI chat responses rendered with markdown-it configured with html:true. The application injects these responses into the DOM using dangerouslySetInnerHTML without HTML sanitization and with a null Content Security Policy (CSP). Malicious input that reaches the AI model prompt can cause executable HTML markup to be included in the response, leading to arbitrary script execution within the privileged Tauri webview context.
