CVE-2025-25187

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. This vulnerability is caused by adding note titles to the document using React's `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, without first escaping HTML entities. Joplin lacks a Content-Security-Policy with a restrictive `script-src`. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution via inline `onclick`/`onload` event handlers in unsanitized HTML. Additionally, Joplin's main window is created with `nodeIntegration` set to `true`, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution to result in arbitrary code execution. Anyone who 1) receives notes from unknown sources and 2) uses <kbd>ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>p</kbd> to search is impacted. This issue has been addressed in version 3.1.24 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Summary
  • (es) Joplin es una aplicación de código abierto y gratuita para tomar notas y realizar tareas pendientes, que puede gestionar una gran cantidad de notas organizadas en cuadernos. Esta vulnerabilidad se produce al añadir títulos de notas al documento mediante `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` de React, sin escapar primero las entidades HTML. Joplin carece de una Content-Security-Policy con un `script-src` restrictivo. Esto permite la ejecución arbitraria de JavaScript a través de controladores de eventos `onclick`/`onload` en línea en HTML no saneado. Además, la ventana principal de Joplin se crea con `nodeIntegration` configurado en `true`, lo que permite la ejecución arbitraria de JavaScript para dar como resultado la ejecución de código arbitrario. Cualquiera que 1) reciba notas de fuentes desconocidas y 2) utilice ctrl-p para buscar se ve afectado. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 3.1.24 y se recomienda a todos los usuarios que actualicen. No existen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
