CVE-2024-40643

moderate-risk
Published 2024-09-09

Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application. Joplin fails to take into account that "<" followed by a non letter character will not be considered html. As such it is possible to do an XSS by putting an "illegal" tag within a tag.
