AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-19929 is a vulnerability in OpenBoxes (up to 0.9.6) involving improper neutralization of special elements in the template engine within the buildZebraTemplate function of DocumentController.groovy. This weakness (CWE-791) allows remote attackers to exploit the template processing component. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating low to medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring low privileges but no user interaction. Public exploit code is available. The issue is fixed in OpenBoxes versions 0.9.8 and 0.9.8-hotfix1.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows remote attackers with low privileges to cause limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts by exploiting improper neutralization in template processing. The presence of public exploit code increases risk, but the overall severity is rated low.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenBoxes to version 0.9.8 or 0.9.8-hotfix1 to remediate this vulnerability. These versions include the patch identified by commit deeac6a4a7aba86ce99c4bda37142e41d209293e. No other mitigation is indicated.
