2DescriptionCVE.org
LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Survey Menu Entries administration page. An authenticated user with the global settings:read permission can create a survey menu entry containing attacker-controlled data. The value is stored in the surveymenu_entries.data field and later inserted into a single-quoted HTML title attribute without context-appropriate encoding.
This issue affects LimeSurvey: 7.0.5.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 allows an authenticated user holding the global settings:read permission to plant a persistent JavaScript payload in the Survey Menu Entries administration page. The malicious value is written to the surveymenu_entries.data field and reflected unsanitized into a single-quoted HTML title attribute, creating a durable attack surface that fires against any higher-privileged administrator who subsequently browses that page. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be authenticated to LimeSurvey with an account that has been explicitly granted the global settings:read permission - this is not a default or public-facing role. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.4 reflects a high-network-reachable, low-complexity exploit with high-privilege requirement (PR:H) and passive user interaction (UI:P). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No explicit patched version is identified in the available data; the vendor advisory and GitHub repository at https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey should be monitored for a fix release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all LimeSurvey Community Edition 7.0.5 deployments and restrict global settings:read permissions to only essential administrators; immediately inspect the surveymenu_entries.data database field for suspicious JavaScript payloads and remove any anomalies. …
