CVE-2026-59814

7.6 HIGHpublic exploit available

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.
