{"cve":"CVE-2022-31108","nvd":{"published":"2022-06-28T19:15:09.423","modified":"2026-06-17T04:44:48.970","status":"Modified","description":"Mermaid is a JavaScript based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions and a renderer to create and modify complex diagrams. 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. 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. This issue has been resolved in version 9.1.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that user input is adequately escaped before embedding it in CSS blocks.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.1},"cwes":["CWE-79","CWE-74"],"references":["https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/commit/0ae1bdb61adff1cd485caff8c62ec6b8ac57b225","https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/security/advisories/GHSA-x3vm-38hw-55wf","https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/commit/0ae1bdb61adff1cd485caff8c62ec6b8ac57b225","https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/security/advisories/GHSA-x3vm-38hw-55wf"],"products":["mermaid_project:mermaid"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:32:39.174919249+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-31108","score":0.00914,"percentile":0.60122,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-x3vm-38hw-55wf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-x3vm-38hw-55wf","summary":"Possible inject arbitrary `CSS` into the generated graph affecting the container HTML","modified":"2023-11-08T04:09:26.448142Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"mermaid","purl":"pkg:npm/mermaid","ranges":[">=8.0.0 <9.1.2"],"fixed":["9.1.2"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
