Technical details

The maybeUrl() utility fails to restrict URL schemes when parsing markdown-style links in entity custom-field values, allowing storage of javascript: and data: URIs. An authenticated user can inject these schemes, which are then rendered as clickable anchors on item pages. When another authenticated user clicks the malicious link, the attacker's script executes within the HomeBox origin, gaining access to the victim's session context and sensitive data.
