π¨ Severity: HIGH
π‘ Vulnerability: A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found where dynamically generated
hrefattributes (ex.mediaUrlinsrc/pages/exercises.jsandinfo.urlinsrc/pages/settings.js) could execute malicious JavaScript if a user supplied ajavascript:protocol URI.escapeHTMLalone does not protect against this asjavascript:URIs do not necessarily contain HTML special characters.π― Impact: An attacker could inject a malicious URL into the database (e.g., via sync or import), causing arbitrary JavaScript execution when a user clicks the "Watch Video" or "View Gist" links.
π§ Fix: Added a
sanitizeUrlfunction insrc/utils/sanitize.jsto explicitly validate that URLs start withhttp://orhttps://before escaping them. Applied this function to the relevanthrefinjections insrc/pages/exercises.jsandsrc/pages/settings.js.β Verification: Verified the application builds successfully (
pnpm build) and unit tests pass (node --test). Added a journal entry detailing the learning and prevention strategy.PR created automatically by Jules for task 12402462297349079819 started by @longestmt
