CVE-2023-2316 is an improper path handling vulnerability in Typora for Windows and Linux before version 1.6.7. Typora’s custom Electron protocol handler for the typora://app/ scheme does not properly restrict absolute paths, allowing crafted web content embedded in Markdown to request arbitrary local files via typora://app/<absolute-path>. Reported examples include reading C:/Windows/win.ini on Windows and /etc/passwd on Linux. The issue can be triggered when a victim opens a malicious Markdown file in Typora or pastes attacker-controlled content copied from a malicious webpage into Typora. The disclosed content can then be exfiltrated to a remote server by attacker-controlled JavaScript running in the embedded webpage.
