CWE-79Published: May 13, 2026· Updated: May 14, 2026
Official Description
Quark Drive before 0.8.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the System Configuration page where the template renders push_config key names using Vue.js's v-html directive without escaping. Authenticated attackers can inject HTML or JavaScript payloads as key names through the POST /update endpoint, which are persisted to disk and executed in the browsers of all authenticated users accessing the System Configuration tab, allowing session cookie exfiltration and arbitrary authenticated actions.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-45228 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
