CVE-2026-72553 Aug 11, 11:11 MEDIUM This Month

Stored cross-site scripting in ElkArte Forum 2.0 Beta 1 enables any registered member to persist malicious JavaScript in the cust_blurb and cust_locate profile fields, which render unescaped when administrators view affected profiles. The scope-changing nature of the flaw (CVSS S:C) means the payload executes within an administrator's browser session, creating a realistic path to session hijacking or privilege escalation. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low barrier to exploitation - any registered account suffices - makes this a meaningful risk for forums with open registration.
