CVE-2026-117538 Details
Description
REDAXO before 5.21.0 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the backend packages API, where the function parameter is concatenated into an error message rendered without HTML escaping. Attackers can lure an authenticated backend user to a crafted link containing a valid CSRF token, executing JavaScript that performs same-origin actions or reads DOM data.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in REDAXO versions prior to 5.21.0. The issue arises in the backend packages API, where the 'function' parameter is injected into an error message without proper HTML escaping. This vulnerability allows attackers to craft a link that, when clicked by an authenticated backend user, executes JavaScript in the user's session or accesses DOM data. Exploitation requires a valid CSRF token.
Users are advised to update REDAXO to version 5.21.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
