CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-25642 — HedgeDoc is an open source, real-time, collaborative, markdown notes application
Medium
CVSS 6.1
HedgeDoc is an open source, real-time, collaborative, markdown notes application. Prior to 1.10.6, files served below the /uploads/ endpoint did not use a more strict security-policy. This resulted in a too open Content-Security-Policy and furthermore opened the possibility to host malicious interactive web content (such as fake login forms) using SVG files. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.6.

Matched remediation archetype
Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
- Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
- Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.
Remediate safely
- Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
- Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
- Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
