AI Analysis

Impact

Craft CMS versions from 5.0.0‑RC1 through 5.10.10 allow attackers to inject malicious JavaScript into the site name field. The unsanitized value is stored and then rendered in control panel settings pages, resulting in a stored XSS vulnerability. When an authenticated user opens the affected page, the injected script executes in that user’s browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of Craft CMS prior to version 5.10.11, including early release candidate 5.0.0‑RC1. It applies to any environment running the default site name input without modification, regardless of operating system or hosting platform.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates moderate severity. No EPSS value is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack requires an administrator to submit a crafted site name, after which other users who view the control panel settings are impacted. Compromise is limited to users with access to the control panel; remote code execution is not possible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Craft CMS to version 5.10.11 or later where site name inputs are properly sanitized
  • Replace the current site name with a benign value that contains no special characters or scripts until the update is applied
  • Ensure future input to the site name or related fields is validated or escaped before storage, following standard XSS mitigation best practices
