What is CVE-2025-66563?

The Monkeytype Typing Test application experiences vulnerabilities due to inadequate handling of user input in versions 25.49.0 and earlier. Attackers can exploit this weakness by submitting malicious quotes containing HTML tags. When these quotes are displayed, the application inserts them directly into the DOM without sufficient validation, leading to potential execution of harmful JavaScript on user sessions. This issue emphasizes the importance of rigorous input sanitation to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
