Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Pivotick up to 1.4.0. This affects the function tryResolveHTMLElement/createIcon of the component UI Element Resolution/Icon Rendering Utilities. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-79. The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Pivotick contains a DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability in its generic UI element resolution and icon-rendering utilities. The tryResolveHTMLElement function treated any resolved string as HTML markup by assigning it to a <template> element through innerHTML. Strings derived from untrusted graph properties or custom rendering callbacks could therefore introduce arbitrary HTML or SVG elements into the live document. The vulnerable function was used by multiple UI components, including headers, property panels, extra panels, and tooltips. Additionally, createIcon inserted caller-supplied svgIcon markup into a template without sanitization. An application integrating Pivotick and deriving icon markup from untrusted data could therefore expose a second script-execution path. An unauthenticated attacker able to provide a crafted graph, property value, rendering result, or SVG icon could execute JavaScript in another user's browser when the affected content is displayed or interacted with. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to access information available to the victim, manipulate graph data or application state, and perform actions with the victim's privileges. The patch changes string rendering to use textContent, requiring callers to explicitly return an Element when HTML rendering is intended. It also sanitizes SVG icon markup before inserting it into the DOM.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-67174 since 07/28/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction.
