- Summary
- malla: Stored XSS via Meshtastic node names in multiple frontend pages
- Details
-
Node names (long_name, short_name) received via MQTT are stored in SQLite without sanitization and rendered into the DOM without escaping. Any participant on a public Meshtastic MQTT broker can set a malicious node name that executes JavaScript in the browser of every Malla dashboard visitor.
Affected files:
- src/malla/templates/traceroute_graph.html (line ~832)
- src/malla/templates/map.html (lines ~945, 1078)
- src/malla/templates/packet_detail.html (lines ~1402, 1452)
- src/malla/static/js/relay_node_analysis.js (line ~124)
Steps to reproduce
- Publish a Meshtastic NODEINFO_APP packet to any public MQTT broker with long_name set to a HTML entity i.e
<img src=x onerror=alert(1)> - Wait for malla-capture to store it
- Open the dashboard
Impact
Allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser, such as:
- Phishing overlays
- Force redirect to malicious websites
- Injection of arbitrary third-party scripts (no CSP restrictions)
- Browser resource abuse
- Persistent dashboard denial of service
- Database specific
