CVE-2026-18516 Details
Description
An output escaping vulnerability in the Audit Logs component of Crafty Controller allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to perform stored cross-site scripting via HTTP header injection
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Audit Logs component of Crafty Controller, specifically in version 4.10.7. This vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts via HTTP header injection. The issue arises because the application trusts client-supplied 'X-Real-IP' and 'X-Forwarded-For' headers without proper validation, leading to the injection of JavaScript that is executed when a superuser accesses the Activity Logs.
Update Crafty Controller to version 4.11.0, which addresses the cross-site scripting vulnerability by properly sanitizing audit log entries before they are displayed.
