NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. Versions 3.3.1 and below are vulnerable to Reflected XSS through its ui.add_css, ui.add_scss, and ui.add_sass functions. The functions lack proper sanitization or encoding for the JavaScript context they generate. An attacker can break out of the intended <style> or <script> tags by injecting closing tags (e.g., </style> or </script>), allowing for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.0.

GHSA-72qc-wxch-74mg — NiceGUI Reflected XSS in ui.add_css, ui.add_scss, and ui.add_sass via Style Injection

Affected: PyPI: nicegui

### Summary A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in `ui.add_css`, `ui.add_scss`, and `ui.add_sass` functions in NiceGUI (v3.3.1 and earlier).

These functions allow developers to inject styles dynamically. However, they lack proper sanitization or encoding for the JavaScript context they generate. An attacker can break out of the intended `<style>` or `<script>` tags by injecting closing tags (e.g., `</style>` or `</script>`), allowing for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript.

### Details The vulnerability stems from how these functions inject content into the DOM using `client.run_javascript` (or `add_head_html` internally) without sufficient escaping for the transport layer.

* **`ui.add_css`**: Injects content into a `<style>` tag. Input containing `</style>` closes the tag prematurely, allowing subsequent HTML/JS injection. * **`ui.add_scss` / `ui.add_sass`**: These rely on client-side compilation within `<script>` tags. Input containing `</script>` breaks the execution context, allowing XSS.

### PoC **Scenario:** A developer allows users to customize a theme color via a URL parameter.

```python from nicegui import ui

@ui.page('/') def main(color: str = 'blue'): # Vulnerable implementation of dynamic theming ui.add_css(f'.q-btn {{ background-color: {color} !important; }}') ui.button('Click Me')
