Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the editor's origin.
The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of script in attributes in the Text Format panel feature-detection routine in Format.js when opening a crafted .drawio file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a crafted file to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the editor's origin.
Exploitation occurs when the imported file causes a cell to be selected, which automatically triggers the vulnerable code path. In same-origin embedded deployments, the script may run in the host application's origin.
