Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-08 10:15 - Updated: 2026-01-15 17:40
Severity ?
6.1 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Summary
NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. From versions 2.13.0 to 3.4.1, there is a XSS risk in NiceGUI when developers pass attacker-controlled strings into ui.navigate.history.push() or ui.navigate.history.replace(). These helpers are documented as History API wrappers for updating the browser URL without page reload. However, if the URL argument is embedded into generated JavaScript without proper escaping, a crafted payload can break out of the intended string context and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser. Applications that do not pass untrusted input into ui.navigate.history.push/replace are not affected. This issue has been patched in version 3.5.0.

Estas funciones auxiliares est\u00e1n documentadas como envoltorios de la API de History para actualizar la URL del navegador sin recargar la p\u00e1gina. Sin embargo, si el argumento de la URL se incrusta en JavaScript generado sin el escape adecuado, una carga \u00fatil dise\u00f1ada puede salir del contexto de cadena previsto y ejecutar JavaScript arbitrario en el navegador de la v\u00edctima. Las aplicaciones que no pasan entradas no confiables a ui.navigate.history.push/replace no se ven afectadas. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versi\u00f3n 3.5.0."
