CVE-2026-28274 Details
Description
Initiative is a self-hosted project management platform. Versions of the application prior to 0.32.4 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the document upload functionality. Any user with upload permissions within the "Initiatives" section can upload a malicious `.html` or `.htm` file as a document. Because the uploaded HTML file is served under the application's origin without proper sandboxing, the embedded JavaScript executes in the context of the application. As a result, authentication tokens, session cookies, or other sensitive data can be exfiltrated to an attacker-controlled server. Additionally, since the uploaded file is hosted under the application's domain, simply sharing the direct file link may result in execution of the malicious script when accessed. Version 0.32.4 fixes the issue.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Morelitea Initiative project management platform, affecting versions prior to 0.32.4. The issue arises in the document upload feature within the 'Initiatives' section, where users with upload permissions can introduce malicious HTML files. These files are served from the application's domain without adequate sandboxing, allowing embedded JavaScript to execute in the application's context. This exploitation can lead to the theft of authentication tokens, session cookies, and other sensitive information, which could be sent to an attacker-controlled server. Furthermore, simply sharing the link to the uploaded file can trigger the execution of the malicious script when accessed.
Users can update to Morelitea Initiative version 0.32.4, which addresses this vulnerability by implementing proper content security policies and invalidating JWT tokens on logout.
