CVE-2026-41148

### Details The state diagram and any other diagram type that routes user-controlled style strings through createCssStyles parser for Mermaid v11.14.0 and earlier captures `classDef` values with an unrestricted regex: ```jison // packages/mermaid/src/diagrams/state/parser/stateDiagram.jison:83 <CLASSDEFID>[^\n]* { this.popState(); return 'CLASSDEF_STYLEOPTS' } ``` The value passes unsanitized through `addStyleClass()` -> `createCssStyles()` -> `style.innerHTML` (mermaidAPI.ts:418). A `}` in the value closes the generated CSS selector, and everything after becomes a new CSS rule on the page. ### PoC ``` stateDiagram-v2 classDef x }*{ background-image: url("http://media.giphy.com/media/SggILpMXO7Xt6/giphy.gif")} ``` Live demo: <https://mermaid.live/edit#pako:eNpFjzFvgzAQhf-KdVNbEcBgMHhtlkqtOnSJKi8ONsYKBmRMlRTx3-skanvTfbp7996t0IxSAYPZC6_2Rmgn7O4rQ00v5nmvWnRG29OKjqI5aTcug9wZK7RiaHH9A4fO-4kliVXSiFibqbvEzWjvnHxo_fI6vR3e6cGXyX2qTcvhcYMItDMSmHeLisAqZ8UVYeUDQhx8p6ziwEIrhTtx4MNVM4nhcxztrywE0h2wVvRzoGWS_z_8rahBKvcckntgmN5OAFvhDIzUNCZZQXCR5nVaZkUEF2BVFpOcEkoxxhUuyRbB980yjStapKHqoKFlhvPtB7BFZEU> ### Patches This has been patched in: - [v11.15.0](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/releases/tag/mermaid%4011.15.0) (see [e9b0f34d8d82a6260077764ee45e1d7d90957a0f](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/commit/e9b0f34d8d82a6260077764ee45e1d7d90957a0f)) - [v10.9.6](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/releases/tag/v10.9.6) (see [8fead23c59166b7bab6a39eac81acebee2859102](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/commit/8fead23c59166b7bab6a39eac81acebee2859102)) ### Workarounds Setting [`"securityLevel": "sandbox"`](https://mermaid.js.org/config/schema-docs/config.html#securitylevel) will prevent this, by rendering the mermaid diagram in a sandboxed `<iframe>`. ### Impact Enables page defacement, user tracking via `url()` callbacks, and DOM attribute exfiltration via CSS `:has()` selectors.
