GHSA-3v85-fqvh-7rxf: Ech0's RSS feed renders unescaped tag names and raw-HTML markdown, stored XSS against subscribers
The public RSS/Atom feed at /rss renders two attacker-controlled surfaces without HTML escaping. Tag names flow through fmt.Appendf(renderedContent, "<br /><span class=\"tag\">#%s</span>", tag.Name) at internal/service/common/common.go:120, and the Markdown renderer at internal/util/md/md.go does not set the html.SkipHTML flag, so raw HTML blocks in echo content pass through unmodified. The resulting Atom <summary type="html"> is valid XML but contains executable <script> tags after the RSS reader decodes it. RSS subscribers whose readers render HTML (including many self-hosted and desktop clients) execute attacker JavaScript in the reader’s origin.
