What is CVE-2025-56795?

Mealie versions 3.0.1 and earlier have a vulnerability in the recipe creation process that allows for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs through the unsanitized user input found in the 'note' and 'text' fields of the '/api/recipes/{recipe_name}' endpoint. Due to the lack of proper escaping, injected scripts may be rendered on the frontend, which can lead to persistent XSS, compromising the security of both users and the application. Organizations using affected versions should implement mitigation strategies immediately.
