Impact

Aix‑DB up to version 1.2.4 renders markdown that contains raw HTML directly into v-html bindings without sanitization. This allows an attacker to embed malicious HTML and JavaScript in markdown content such as chat responses, skill descriptions, or knowledge messages. When another user views the rendered content in a browser, the injected script executes, potentially hijacking the session, stealing credentials, or delivering further phishing or malicious payloads.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Aix‑DB application supplied by apconw, specifically version 1.2.4 and earlier. Versions beyond 1.2.4 have reportedly addressed the issue; however, any instance that still runs 1.2.4 or a previous release remains at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.1, the severity is medium; the exploit probability is not quantified by EPSS, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker must have the ability to submit markdown content (e.g., via chat, skill creation, or knowledge base entry). Once the content is stored, any user who views it in a browser will be affected, giving attackers a broad window for executing client‑side attacks. The attack vector is therefore likely an insider or external user with write privileges to the affected content areas.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Deploy the latest released version of Aix‑DB (post‑1.2.4) where markdown sanitization of raw HTML has been added.
  • If an upgrade is not yet possible, immediately configure the markdown renderer to disable raw HTML or strip unsafe tags before rendering the content in v-html bindings.
  • Apply a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that blocks inline scripts and restricts script execution to trusted sources to mitigate any remaining XSS impact.
