Upgrading?

AI Summary

This security release addresses XSS vulnerabilities in course documents served via `/api/persistence`. It applies sanitization policies to slide HTML, removing scripts and event handlers to prevent code execution in the browser of users who open course links.

Key Highlights

  • Course documents served via `/api/persistence` are now sanitized to remove scripts, event-handler attributes, and `javascript:` URLs.
  • Inline styles are re-serialized without spaces to match the formatting vocabulary of the renderer.
  • Existing documents are sanitized upon read, while new documents are stored clean.

Breaking Changes

  • Slide HTML written through `/api/persistence` is reduced to the renderer's formatting vocabulary, stripping scripts and event handlers.
  • Documents already stored are not rewritten in the database; they are sanitized when read.

Full Release Notes

A security release. Course documents served by `/api/persistence` now carry only the slide HTML the renderer produces, on every write and every read. Read **Behavior Changes** before upgrading.

## Security

- Course documents: with server persistence enabled, `/api/persistence/documents/...` stored and returned slide HTML without sanitizing it. Document reads are capability-by-id, so anyone with a course link loads that course, and the classroom renders slide text, shape text, table cells and LaTeX snapshots as HTML. A course written through this path could therefore run script in the browser of anyone who opened its link. The owner-bound document store now applies the same sanitization policy as `/api/classroom` to the stage and scenes on every write and every read, so new documents are stored clean and documents stored earlier are served clean.

The same fix ships in [v1.2.0-rc.1](https://github.com/THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC/releases/tag/v1.2.0-rc.1).

## Behavior Changes

- Slide HTML written through `/api/persistence` is reduced to the renderer's formatting vocabulary (the policy `/api/classroom` already applies): scripts, event-handler attributes, `javascript:` URLs and embedded objects are removed, and inline styles are re-serialized without spaces (`text-align: center;` becomes `text-align:center`). Formatting the editor produces is kept.
- Documents already stored are not rewritten in the database; they are sanitized when read, and stored clean the next time they are saved.
