DescriptionCVE.org

Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions 2.6.29 and prior, article content is processed by Parsedown without enabling safe mode, which means raw HTML including <script> tags embedded in Markdown is passed through unescaped. The output is rendered with no additional sanitization, resulting in stored XSS visible to all site visitors. At time of publication, there are no publicly known patches.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in Emlog versions 2.6.29 and prior enables arbitrary JavaScript execution in the browsers of all site visitors. The root cause is Parsedown being invoked without safe mode enabled, so raw HTML - including <script> tags and inline event handlers - embedded in article Markdown is passed through and rendered without any additional sanitization. …
