XSS vulnerability in Markdown handling in Apache Allura.

This issue affects Apache Allura: from 1.10.0 before 1.19.1.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.19.1, which fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site scripting in Apache Allura's Markdown rendering (versions 1.10.0 up to but not including 1.19.1) allows an attacker to inject script-related HTML into content that other users view, executing arbitrary JavaScript in their browsers. Because Allura is a collaborative forge where users routinely post Markdown in tickets, wiki pages, and comments, the payload is most likely stored and delivered to victims who open the affected page. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the ability to submit Markdown-formatted content to an Allura instance - access to a feature that accepts Markdown such as tickets, wiki pages, forum posts, or comments, which on most deployments means at least a registered low-privilege account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No CVSS score or vector was supplied by the source, so severity signals must be inferred and stated as such. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker uses an existing or newly registered low-privilege account to post a wiki page, ticket, or comment containing crafted Markdown that carries a script-bearing HTML tag or attribute. When a project maintainer or other user opens that page, the injected JavaScript runs in their authenticated session, enabling theft of session cookies or CSRF tokens or actions performed as the victim. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade Apache Allura to version 1.19.1 or later, as recommended in the Apache advisory (https://allura.apache.org/posts/2026-allura-1.19.1.html and https://lists.apache.org/thread/p7bd1yz9v9wbsbc6hz3tjxozxnwyzqz0). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all deployed Apache Allura instances and document their versions to identify affected systems; note that no public exploit has been identified at this time but remediation remains critical given the severity. …
