Verified Advisory
Reflected XSS in DHIS2 OpenAPI HTML scope parameter (CVE-2026-55081)
The DHIS2 OpenAPI HTML endpoint reflects values from the `scope` query parameter into the generated HTML document without sufficient sanitization. A crafted `scope` value can be rendered as active HTML or JavaScript in the OpenAPI documentation page. An attacker who can persuade a user to open a crafted OpenAPI HTML URL can execute arbitrary JavaScript in that user's browser within the DHIS2 origin.
