Description

Firefly III before 4.7.17.1 is vulnerable to stored XSS due to lack of filtration of user-supplied data in a budget name. The JavaScript code is contained in a transaction, and is executed on the tags/show/$tag_number$ tag summary page. NOTE: It is asserted that an attacker must have the same access rights as the user in order to be able to execute the vulnerability

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for grumpydictator/firefly-iii, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update grumpydictator/firefly-iii to 4.7.17.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9xmx-rj7j-fv9q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
