NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. Prior to version 3.8.0, several NiceGUI APIs that execute methods on client-side elements (Element.run_method(), AgGrid.run_grid_method(), EChart.run_chart_method(), and others) use an eval() fallback in the JavaScript-side runMethod() function. When user-controlled input is passed as the method name, an attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the victim's browser. Additionally, Element.run_method() and Element.get_computed_prop() used string interpolation instead of json.dumps() for the method/property name, allowing quote injection to break out of the intended string context. Version 3.8.0 contains a fix.
CVE-2026-27156
MEDIUMPre-NVD 6.16.1
EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
