Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joplin versions 1.0.184 and earlier

Description The issue allows for Arbitrary File Read via Cross-site Scripting (XSS). This means an attacker could potentially read arbitrary files on the system by exploiting a vulnerability in the application's handling of user input, leading to a cross-site scripting attack.

Recommendations For versions 1.0.184 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.0.184 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive files and implementing additional security measures to minimize the risk of XSS exploitation.
