CVE-2026-59814
7.6 HIGHpublic exploit availablePublished 2026-09-21 · Updated 2026-09-23
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- Joplin Server allows low-privileged users to upload attachments with empty titles that execute arbitrary scripts when victims open public shares. This enables attackers to perform actions on behalf of authenticated victims using same-origin script execution.
- Exploitability
- Moderately difficult to exploit as it requires a low-privileged user to create an empty-title attachment and convince a victim to open the public share, but the attack vector is straightforward once the precondition is met.
- Blast radius
- The impact could be significant as attackers can access same-origin data, read administrative information, and perform actions with victim sessions, potentially leading to privilege escalation or data exfiltration.
- Detection
- Monitor for unusual GET requests to /shares/ endpoints with empty resource titles, and check for script execution patterns in shared content when users access public shares.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to Joplin Server 3.7.7 or later to fix the vulnerability in the GET /shares/:id?resource_id= route.

NVD description
Joplin is an open source note-taking and to-do application that organises notes and lists into notebooks. Prior to 3.7.7, Joplin Server's GET /shares/:id?resource_id= route serves a resource with the attacker-controlled mime value and omits Content-Disposition when the resource title is empty. A low-privileged user can publish an empty-title image/svg+xml attachment whose script executes when a victim opens the public share. By default, user content shares the Joplin Server application origin, allowing the script to access same-origin data and, when the victim is authenticated, perform actions with the victim's session, including reading administrative data and anti-CSRF tokens. Installations that configure USER_CONTENT_BASE_URL to a separate origin still execute the script, but on that separate user-content origin rather than the application origin. This issue is fixed in version 3.7.7.
