CVE-2026-73628 Details

UNDERGOING ENRICHMENT

The CVE is currently being enriched by the Volerion team. The enrichment process results in the association of reference link tags, CVSS, and CPE applicability statement data.

Description

Serendipity versions >= 2.3.5 and <= 2.6.0 contain a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the search clean-URL route (/search/<term>). In include/functions_routing.inc.php serveSearch(), the sanitisation pipeline runs urldecode() after HTML-encoding, so a single URL-encoded HTML payload survives strip_tags() and htmlspecialchars() and is then decoded back into live HTML in the page. A crafted search link can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. Fixed in 2.6.1.
