Shaarli is a personal bookmarking service. Versions 0.16.1 and prior contain a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Markdown-to-HTML conversion process used in the Bookmark Description field. An authenticated user can inject a malicious javascript: URI inside a Markdown link. The vulnerability originates in the filterProtocols method within BookmarkMarkdownFormatter.php.This method attempts to sanitize Markdown links by filtering dangerous protocols (such as javascript:) before rendering. It uses the following regular expression: (#]\((.*?)\)#is). This regex is designed to detect inline Markdown links, but it fails to detect Markdown reference-style links because reference-style links are resolved by the Markdown parser after preprocessing. The filterProtocols method never inspects the actual URL used in these references and as a result, an attacker can supply a javascript: URI inside a reference definition. This issue has been fixed in version 0.16.2.
CVE-2026-48822
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 98% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. 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).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
