CVE-2025-56795
Mealie 3.0.1 and earlier is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the recipe creation functionality.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.37%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Mealie 3.0.1 and earlier is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the recipe creation functionality. Unsanitized user input in the "note" and "text" fields of the "/api/recipes/{recipe_name}" endpoint is rendered in the frontend without proper escaping leading to persistent XSS.
