DescriptionCVE.org

RockRMS v16.13 and before v.17.7.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via Social Media links in user profile.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in RockRMS versions 16.13 and earlier through 17.7.0 allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript via the Social Media links field in user profiles, leading to privilege escalation when administrators view the profile. According to the Raxis disclosure referenced in this CVE, the flaw enables session hijacking and account takeover of higher-privileged users. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but a detailed technical write-up is publicly available describing the attack path.

Technical ContextAI

RockRMS (Rock Relationship Management System) is an open-source church/relationship management platform maintained by the Spark Development Network, commonly used by religious organizations to manage membership, donations, and communications. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), where the Social Media links field on user profile pages fails to sanitize or encode user-supplied URLs before rendering them in HTML context. Because profile pages are rendered for other users (including administrators), an injected payload such as a javascript: URI or event-handler attribute executes in the victim's browser session within the same origin as the RockRMS web application.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to RockRMS version 17.7.0 or later, which per the CVE description contains the fix for this stored XSS in the Social Media links profile field. No vendor advisory URL was provided in the CVE references beyond the Spark Development Network homepage (http://sparkdevnetwork.com) and the Raxis disclosure (https://raxis.com/blog/cve-2026-36748-xss-in-rock-rms-leads-to-privilege-escalation/), so administrators should check the Spark Development Network release notes directly for the patched build. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls include disabling user self-registration to reduce the pool of attackers who can create profiles, removing or restricting the Social Media links field in the user profile configuration, instructing administrators to avoid viewing untrusted user profiles until patched, and deploying a strict Content Security Policy that blocks inline script execution and disallows javascript: URIs - note that aggressive CSP may break legitimate RockRMS features that rely on inline scripts and should be tested in staging.
