CVE-2026-43887Outline: Stored XSS via Comment Mentions

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects outline. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. From 0.84.0 to 1.6.1, the Outline comment section permits users to mention other users; however, the backend does not validate or sanitize the href attribute associated with these mentions. As a result, potentially dangerous protocols (e.g., javascript:) are not filtered, introducing a risk of client-side code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0.
