CVE-2026-35218 | Budibase: Stored XSS via unsanitized entity names rendered with {@html} in Builder Command Palette

Exp

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to version 3.32.5, Budibase's Builder Command Palette renders entity names (tables, views, queries, automations) using Svelte's {@html} directive without any sanitization. An authenticated user with Builder access can create a table, automation, view, or query whose name contains an HTML payload (e.g. <img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>). When any Builder-role user in the same workspace opens the Command Palette (Ctrl+K), the payload executes in their browser, stealing their session cookie and enabling full account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 3.32.5.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
