DescriptionCVE.org

Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. Versions prior to 0.70.0 are vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to improper handling of MIME type spoofing (GHSL-2026-052). An attacker could exploit this flaw to inject malicious scripts, potentially compromising the security of users and data. Version 0.70.0 contains a patch.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Docmost prior to version 0.70.0 allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts through MIME type spoofing, potentially compromising user sessions and data integrity. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a link or viewing injected content) and affects only the confidentiality and integrity of affected users' data, not availability. Vendor-released patch: version 0.70.0.

Technical ContextAI

Docmost is a collaborative wiki and documentation platform that fails to properly validate MIME type information during content upload or processing. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) indicates the root cause is insufficient input sanitization or output encoding when handling file MIME types. Attackers can spoof MIME type headers to bypass server-side validation, allowing injected JavaScript to be stored and executed in the browsers of users who subsequently view the affected content. The vulnerability chain involves file upload handling that trusts user-supplied MIME type values without proper verification or encoding before rendering in the web interface.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Docmost to version 0.70.0 or later immediately. This version contains the vendor-released patch addressing MIME type validation and XSS prevention. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict document upload and editing permissions to trusted users only, and implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with strict directives (script-src 'self') to mitigate stored XSS payload execution. Verify the patch by reviewing the security advisory at https://github.com/docmost/docmost/security/advisories/GHSA-7cq4-577p-wp6p and consulting the official release notes. After patching, audit recently modified documents for signs of injected scripts, particularly any uploaded files with mismatched MIME types.
