In Eclipse Langium versions 3.0.0 and later, the langium-sprotty package does not HTML-escape diagnostic messages before rendering them in the default hover popup provided by `addHoverPopupHandler`. If a Langium grammar allows cross-reference text to contain HTML markup (such as through a STRING terminal), an unresolved cross-reference produces a diagnostic message that includes the literal ref text. When a Sprotty diagram is opened for a malicious source file under these conditions, and a user hovers over the corresponding error marker, attacker-controlled JavaScript can execute in the browser or webview.
