Description
Cross-site scripting in the Evernote and Google Keep note importers in Standard Notes for Android through 3.201.24 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the application context when a victim imports a crafted .enex or Google Keep HTML file, leading to theft of encryption keys and note data, and arbitrary invocation of native device APIs.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a cross‑site scripting flaw in the Evernote and Google Keep note importers within the Standard Notes Android application. Importing a specially crafted .enex or Google Keep HTML file can cause arbitrary JavaScript to run with the app’s privileges, allowing an attacker to steal encryption keys, read or modify note data, and invoke native device APIs. This flaw directly satisfies CWE‑79 and exposes both confidentiality and integrity of user data as well as the device’s native functionality.

Affected Systems

The Standard Notes Android app version 3.201.24 and earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists only in the importers for Evernote and Google Keep. No other vendors or product versions are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known out‑of‑band exploitation. Exploitation requires a victim to open or import a malicious file, so the attack vector is user‑initiated and file‑based. Because the flaw triggers within the app’s own process, the impact is confined to the Android application environment, but the ability to read encryption keys compromises all stored notes.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Standard Notes Android to version 3.201.25 or later where the importers have been fixed.
  • If an update is not immediately available, disable the Evernote and Google Keep import functionality until a patch is applied.
  • Review any imported note files for suspicious content and consider implementing a sandbox or whitelist check before parsing .enex or Google Keep HTML
