Summary

Material for MkDocs is a powerful documentation framework built on top of MkDocs. From 7.2.0 until 9.7.7, the mountSearchSuggest function in src/templates/assets/javascripts/components/search/suggest/index.ts contains a DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability in the optional search.suggest feature that allows a crafted q URL parameter to execute JavaScript in a documentation site's origin after user interaction. This issue is fixed in version 9.7.7.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of squidfunk/mkdocs-material published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
