CVE-2026-64944 Details
Description
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Apache Answer. This issue affects Apache Answer: through 2.0.2. The importer stores imported question bodies as raw HTML without passing them through the normal Markdown-to-HTML sanitization path, so attacker-controlled HTML embedded in an imported data source is persisted and rendered to all viewers (including privileged users) as stored XSS. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.3, which fixes the issue.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Apache Answer versions through 2.0.2. The issue arises because the importer saves question bodies as raw HTML, bypassing the standard Markdown-to-HTML sanitization process. This allows attacker-controlled HTML from imported data to be persisted and displayed to all users, including those with privileges, as stored XSS.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Answer version 2.0.3, which addresses this vulnerability.
