CVE-2026-55793 Details
Description
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). In versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.9.22, an author-level control panel user can store a malicious JavaScript payload in an entry title. When an admin, or any control panel user with saveEntries for the same Structure section, drags another entry under the poisoned entry in table view, the payload executes in the victim’s session. The issue is exploitable because the title is escaped into data-title by the server, decoded again by the browser, read with jQuery .data('title'), and then concatenated into a new HTML string without attribute escaping. To exploit, an attacker must have an existing control panel account (Author role minimum), the victim must perform a drag operation (not just visit the page), and the victim’s session needs to be elevated at trigger time. This issue has been fixed in version 5.9.23.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Craft CMS versions 5.0.0-RC1 prior to 5.9.22. The issue allows an author-level control panel user to inject a malicious JavaScript payload into an entry title. This payload is executed when an admin or any control panel user with the 'saveEntries' permission for the same Structure section drags another entry under the compromised entry in table view. The vulnerability arises because the entry title is processed by the server into a 'data-title' attribute, decoded by the browser, and then reinserted into the HTML without proper escaping. To exploit this, the attacker must have a control panel account and the victim must perform a drag action during an elevated session.
Users can update to Craft CMS version 5.9.23 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
