Technical details

The Fountain renderer in packages/renderer/MdToHtml/rules/fountain.ts outputs HTML without sanitization, allowing arbitrary script execution when Fountain rendering is enabled. Attack vectors include viewing notes in desktop/mobile clients or accessing published notes through Joplin Server where Fountain rendering is enabled by default. An attacker with the ability to create or modify notes can exploit this to read subsequently-loaded content or, in server deployments, access authenticated browser context data.
