Summary

CVE-2024-41662 is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting versions 3.18.1 and prior of the VNote note-taking application. The Markdown rendering functionality of this software is the source of the issue. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code, potentially leading to remote code execution. This risk can be mitigated through the application of a patch, available at commit f1af78573a0ef51d6ef6a0bc4080cddc8f30a545. Alternatively, implementing thorough input sanitization for all Markdown content and using a secure Markdown parser that effectively escapes or strips dangerous content are effective preventive measures.
