Description
Impact
OctoPrint versions up to and including 1.11.7 as well as 2.0.0rc1 and 2.0.0rc2 are affected by a vulnerability that allows injection of arbitrary HTML and JavaScript into Suppressed Command notifications popups generated by the printer.
An attacker who successfully convinces a victim to print a specially crafted file could exploit this issue to disrupt ongoing prints, extract information (including sensitive configuration settings, if the targeted user has the necessary permissions for that), or perform other actions on behalf of the targeted user within the OctoPrint instance.
Patches
The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.11.8 and 2.0.0rc3.
Workaround
OctoPrint administrators can mitigate the risk by disabling popups:
- for Action Command notifications, set OctoPrint Settings -> Serial Connection -> Behaviour -> Sanity Checking -> Display notifications for suppressed commands to Never show notifications
It is also strongly recommended to ensure that files being printed originate from trusted sources, and, whenever possible, are sliced with an application's own slicer.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for octoprint, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update octoprint to 1.11.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p6qx-ghxm-389h is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
