Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): HTML parsing and note rendering pipelines frequently fail to properly sanitize elements (such as iframe, embed, link, area, map, and nested tag structures), allowing attackers to bypass sanitization filters, trigger script execution, and potentially leverage Electron features to execute arbitrary commands.
Path Traversal: The OneNote import pipeline and file conversion utilities fail to properly canonicalize and validate nested folder/notebook titles and attachments, allowing path traversal on Windows platforms and potential arbitrary file writes.
Auth Bypass: Logic errors in share associations, deletion hooks, and subfolder moving allow removed users or unshared subfolders to retain active database permissions and continue accessing shared notes.
