Published: 02/20/2026 (02/20/2026, 16:55:22 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: sa2blv
Product: SVXportal

Description

SVXportal version 2.5 and prior contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the user profile update workflow (user_settings.php submitting to admin/update_user.php). Authenticated users can store malicious HTML/JavaScript in fields such as Firstname, lastname, email, and image_url, which are later rendered without adequate output encoding in the administrator interface (admin/users.php), resulting in JavaScript execution in an administrator's browser when the affected page is viewed.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-27506 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in SVXportal (version 2.5 and prior) affecting the user profile update workflow. Authenticated users can submit malicious scripts in profile fields that are stored and later rendered in the administrator interface without adequate output encoding. This results in script execution in the administrator's browser, potentially allowing actions within the admin context. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). No patch or official remediation information is provided in the available data.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the administrator's browser context when the admin views the user list page. This could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or other attacks leveraging the administrator's privileges. The CVSS score of 5.1 reflects a medium impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and limited privileges required.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict user permissions to trusted individuals only and consider monitoring or limiting access to the administrator interface. Avoid viewing untrusted user profile data in the admin interface. Implementing proper output encoding and input validation on user profile fields is recommended once a patch or update is available.
