CVE-2026-43900: DeepChat: Persistent DOM XSS via HTML Entity Encoding in `<antArtifact>` SVG Rendering (Bypass of `svgSanitizer.ts`)

Published May 11, 2026

Updated

DeepChat is an open-source artificial intelligence agent platform that unifies models, tools, and agents. Prior to v1.0.4-beta.1, a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to a discrepancy between the backend validation layer and the frontend browser rendering engine. The SVGSanitizer (src/main/lib/svgSanitizer.ts) restricts script execution by scrubbing javascript: protocols using plain-text regular expressions. However, it fails to account for HTML entity decoding prior to Vue's v-html DOM insertion inside the SvgArtifact.vue component. By feeding an SVG artifact with obfuscated entities (e.g., j&#x61;vascript:alert(1)), an attacker can completely bypass the sanitizer, culminating in arbitrary JavaScript execution when a victim interacts with the rendered SVG Element. This vulnerability is fixed in v1.0.4-beta.1.
