CVE-2026-71249 Details
Description
299Ko's public contact form (plugin/contact/controllers/ContactController.php, home) sets raw POST field values (name, firstname, email, message) into the page template with no sanitization. The template engine's variable output function (common/Template.php, _show_var) echoes values with no htmlspecialchars call, and the sink template (contact.tpl) outputs these values unescaped into an HTML attribute and a textarea.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the public contact form of 299Ko CMS. The issue arises in the ContactController.php file, where raw POST data including name, firstname, email, and message are inserted into the page template without proper sanitization. The template engine's variable output function, located in common/Template.php, fails to escape these values, allowing them to be output unescaped into an HTML attribute and a textarea. This vulnerability enables an unauthenticated attacker to inject a script payload, such as a JavaScript alert, which could be executed by any visitor who submits or is manipulated into auto-submitting the form, potentially targeting an administrator and leading to session token theft.
