Title
Trilium Notes: Stored XSS Leads to Unauthorized Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Unsanitized SVG Attachments
Summary
Trilium Notes is a cross-platform, hierarchical note taking application focused on building large personal knowledge bases. Versions 0.102.1 and prior contain a critical security flaw where lack of SVG sanitization combined with a disabled Content Security Policy (CSP) and a publicly reachable backend execution API results in an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability arises from an insecure-by-design architecture: Trilium serves SVG attachments with the image/svg+xml MIME type without any sanitization, and it explicitly disables Helmet's Content Security Policy middleware, removing the primary defense against script execution in served assets. Because the malicious SVG runs under the Same-Origin Policy, it can issue a fetch('/') to extract the csrfToken from the document body. With that token, it can send a signed request to /api/script/exec to execute arbitrary Node.js code on the server. An attacker can compromise the entire server instance simply by tricking an authenticated user into viewing a shared SVG attachment. The issue has been fixed in version 0.102.2.

Las versiones 0.102.1 y anteriores contienen una falla de seguridad cr\u00edtica donde la falta de saneamiento de SVG combinada con una Pol\u00edtica de Seguridad de Contenido (CSP) deshabilitada y una API de ejecuci\u00f3n de backend accesible p\u00fablicamente resulta en una ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo (RCE) no autenticada. La vulnerabilidad surge de una arquitectura insegura por dise\u00f1o: Trilium sirve archivos adjuntos SVG con el tipo MIME image/svg+xml sin ning\u00fan saneamiento, y deshabilita expl\u00edcitamente el middleware de Pol\u00edtica de Seguridad de Contenido de Helmet, eliminando la defensa principal contra la ejecuci\u00f3n de scripts en los activos servidos. Debido a que el SVG malicioso se ejecuta bajo la Pol\u00edtica del Mismo Origen, puede emitir un fetch(\u0027/\u0027) para extraer el csrfToken del cuerpo del documento. Con ese token, puede enviar una solicitud firmada a /api/script/exec para ejecutar c\u00f3digo Node.js arbitrario en el servidor. Un atacante puede comprometer toda la instancia del servidor simplemente enga\u00f1ando a un usuario autenticado para que vea un archivo adjunto SVG compartido.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
