Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Wallos and ellite/Wallos to 4.6.2.

AI-suggested

The most effective mitigation is to upgrade Wallos to version 4.6.2 or later, where the vulnerability has been patched by applying proper output encoding (htmlspecialchars) to user-supplied inputs. For organizations unable to upgrade immediately, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block malicious payloads in the 'token' and 'email' GET parameters can reduce risk. Additionally, administrators should review and sanitize all user inputs and outputs in custom modifications or integrations of Wallos. Employing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers can mitigate the impact of XSS by restricting script execution sources. Educating users to avoid clicking suspicious links and monitoring logs for unusual URL patterns targeting passwordreset.php can help detect exploitation attempts. Regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input validation and output encoding are recommended to prevent similar issues.

Description

Wallos is an open-source, self-hostable personal subscription tracker. Prior to version 4.6.2, passwordreset.php outputs $_GET["token"] and $_GET["email"] directly into HTML input value attributes using <?= $token ?> and <?= $email ?> without calling htmlspecialchars(). This allows reflected XSS by breaking out of the attribute context. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.2.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is on the confidentiality and integrity of users interacting with the affected Wallos application. An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser, potentially stealing session cookies, performing actions on behalf of the user, or redirecting users to malicious sites. While the vulnerability does not directly compromise the server or backend data, it undermines user trust and can lead to account compromise or data leakage. Organizations hosting Wallos instances, especially those accessible over the internet, face risks of targeted phishing or social engineering attacks leveraging this XSS flaw. Since Wallos is a personal subscription tracker, the exposure of user data or session tokens could lead to privacy violations. The lack of required authentication or user interaction for exploitation increases the risk, as attackers can send malicious links to victims without needing access credentials. However, the scope is limited to users who visit the malicious URL, and the vulnerability does not affect server availability or integrity beyond the client-side impact.

Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Implementation · Architecture and Design
Understand the context in which your data will be used and the encoding that will be expected. This is especially important when transmitting data between different components, or when generating outputs that can contain multiple encodings at the same time, such as web pages or multi-part mail messages.
Architecture and Design · Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
