CVE-2026-46686 Details
Description
Emlog is an open source website building system. In 2.6.13 and earlier, the admin backend user search module's keyword parameter from admin/user.php is processed with addslashes but not HTML-escaped before being rendered into the value attribute in admin/views/user.php, allowing reflected cross-site scripting in an administrator's backend session. No fixed version is currently identified.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Emlog versions through 2.6.13. The issue arises in the admin backend user search module, specifically within the 'keyword' parameter of 'admin/user.php'. The parameter is processed with 'addslashes' for SQL injection protection but is not properly HTML-escaped before being rendered in the 'value' attribute of an input field in 'admin/views/user.php'. This oversight allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that could be executed in the context of an administrator's session.
To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to modify the output handling of the 'keyword' parameter in 'admin/views/user.php' to include proper HTML encoding. This can be done by replacing the current output method with one that uses 'htmlspecialchars' to escape special characters, ensuring that any injected HTML tags are neutralized before being rendered.
