DescriptionCVE.org

HumHub 1.18.4 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the comment-deletion notification flow. A Space administrator can delete another user's comment, choose to notify the original author, and place HTML/JavaScript in the deletion reason.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in HumHub 1.18.4 lets a Space administrator embed arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into the deletion-reason field of a comment-removal notification sent to the comment's original author. When the victim renders the notification in their browser, the injected script executes within their authenticated HumHub session, enabling session-token theft or unauthorized actions on their behalf. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold the Space administrator role within a HumHub Space - this is an elevated but internal platform role, not a server-level or global platform administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.2 is driven by high-impact outcomes (VC:H/VI:H against the victim session) tempered by meaningful access barriers: PR:H confirms a Space administrator account is required, and AT:P/UI:P confirms the victim must actively render the notification. … 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 The upstream fix is available in GitHub Pull Request #8365 at https://github.com/humhub/humhub/pull/8365, which applies Html::encode() to the 'reason' field in CommentDeleted.php and to both the 'reason' and 'contentTitle' fields in ContentDeleted.php. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all HumHub instances running version 1.18.4 or earlier and determine exposure level; audit space administrator activity for any suspicious use of comment deletion features. …
