CVE-2026-33525 Details
Description
Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server providing two-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for applications via a web portal. In version 4.39.15, an attacker may potentially be able to inject javascript into the Authelia login page if several conditions are met simultaneously. Unless both the `script-src` and `connect-src` directives have been modified it's almost impossible for this to have a meaningful impact. However if both of these are and they are done so without consideration to their potential impact; there is a are situations where this vulnerability could be exploited. This is caused to the lack of neutralization of the `langauge` cookie value when rendering the HTML template. This vulnerability is likely difficult to discover though fingerprinting due to the way Authelia is designed but it should not be considered impossible. The additional requirement to identify the secondary application is however likely to be significantly harder to identify along side this, but also likely easier to fingerprint. Users should upgrade to 4.39.16 or downgrade to 4.39.14 to mitigate the issue. The overwhelming majority of installations will not be affected and no workarounds are necessary. The default value for the Content Security Policy makes exploiting this weakness completely impossible. It's only possible via the deliberate removal of the Content Security Policy or deliberate inclusion of clearly noted unsafe policies.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Authelia version 4.39.15. This issue arises from improper neutralization of the 'language' cookie value when rendering the HTML template, potentially allowing an attacker to inject JavaScript into the Authelia login page. However, successful exploitation requires specific conditions to be met, including modifications to the Content Security Policy that could disable its default protective measures. Most Authelia installations will not be affected, as the vulnerability hinges on both the Content Security Policy and the presence of a secondary application that can manipulate cookies for the Authelia domain.
Users are advised to upgrade to Authelia version 4.39.16 or downgrade to version 4.39.14. If using a custom Content Security Policy, ensure it does not include unsafe directives that could allow script execution.
