Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. Prior to versions 6.3.8, 7.0.6, 7.2.3, and 7.3.1, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists on confirmation messages within the wagtail.contrib.simple_translation module. A user with access to the Wagtail admin area may create a page with a specially-crafted title which, when another user performs the "Translate" action, causes arbitrary JavaScript code to run. This could lead to performing actions with that user's credentials. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. This issue has been patched in versions 6.3.8, 7.0.6, 7.2.3, and 7.3.1.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in Wagtail's simple_translation module allows authenticated admin users to inject malicious JavaScript through specially-crafted page titles that executes when other admins perform translation actions, potentially compromising their credentials. The vulnerability affects Wagtail versions prior to 6.3.8, 7.0.6, 7.2.3, and 7.3.1, and requires admin-level access to exploit, limiting exposure to internal threats. Patches are available for all affected versions.
