  "details": "### Summary\nA stored same-origin XSS vulnerability allows any authenticated user to upload an HTML, SVG, or XHTML file as a note asset and have it executed in a victim\u2019s browser under the application\u2019s origin. Because the application serves these files inline without a safe content type and without `nosniff`, browsers can sniff and render active content, giving the attacker access to authenticated Note Mark API actions as the victim.\n\n### Details\nThis issue results from three compounding flaws in the asset handling and delivery path.\n\n#### 1. Asset delivery can be used as an attack vector\nThe asset delivery route can be used to deliver attacker-controlled uploaded content directly to a victim by URL.\n\nRelevant route:\n- `handlers/assets.go:40`\n\n```go\nhuma.Get(api, \"/api/notes/{noteID}/assets/{assetID}\", h.GetNoteAssetContentByID)\n```\n\nThis makes the uploaded asset reachable by direct navigation, which provides the delivery mechanism for the payload.\n\n#### 2. Text-based active content is served with an empty `Content-Type`\nThe asset handler relies on `h2non/filetype` for content-type detection:\n\n- `handlers/assets.go:147`\n\n```go\nkind, _ := filetype.Match(buf)\nif kind != filetype.Unknown {\n    contentType = kind.MIME.Value\n}\n```\n\nThe detection library uses magic-byte matching and does not identify text-based formats such as HTML, SVG, JavaScript, XML, or XHTML. For those files, `filetype.Match` returns `Unknown`, leaving `Content-Type` unset or empty.\n\nAs a result, uploaded active content is served without an authoritative MIME type.\n\n#### 3. Files are rendered inline and sniffed by the browser\nThe asset response is sent with inline disposition:\n\n- `handlers/assets.go:153`\n\n```go\nw.Header().Set(\"Content-Disposition\", fmt.Sprintf(\"inline; filename=\\\"%s\\\"\", asset.Name))\n```\n\nAt the same time, the response does not set:\n\n```http\nX-Content-Type-Options: nosniff\n```\n\nThis combination is dangerous:\n- the uploaded file contains attacker-controlled active markup\n- the browser is instructed to render it inline\n- the response does not provide a trustworthy content type\n- content sniffing is not disabled\n\nUnder these conditions, browsers may detect HTML or SVG content and execute embedded JavaScript. Because the asset is served from the application\u2019s own origin, the script runs with same-origin access to the application and its authenticated APIs.\n\nThis turns an uploaded asset into a stored XSS payload that executes when a victim opens the asset URL.\n\n### PoC\nThe issue can be reproduced by uploading a text-based active content file such as HTML or SVG as a note asset, then opening the served asset URL in a browser and observing that script executes in the context of the application origin.\n\n### Impact\n- **Type:** Stored same-origin cross-site scripting (XSS)\n- **Who is impacted:** Any user who can be induced to open a malicious asset URL, and any deployment allowing asset uploads\n- **Security impact:** An attacker can execute JavaScript in the victim\u2019s authenticated application context, allowing access to private notes, books, profile data, and authenticated API actions\n- **Privileges required:** A valid low-privilege user account capable of uploading note assets\n- **User interaction:** Required, because the victim must navigate to the malicious asset URL\n- **Scope:** Changed, because attacker-controlled content executes in the victim\u2019s origin and impacts other users rather than remaining confined to the attacker\u2019s own account",
