DOM Clobbering leads to temporary DOS in the note viewer in Joplin
CVE-2024-55630
Description
Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. Joplin's HTML sanitizer allows the name attribute to be specified. If name is set to the same value as an existing document property (e.g. querySelector), that property is replaced with the element. This vulnerability's only known impact is denial of service. The note viewer fails to refresh until closed and re-opened with a different note. This issue has been addressed in version 3.2.8 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
