Description
CVE-2026-33406 is a medium severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Pi-hole Admin Interface web application versions 6.0 up to but not including 6.5. It arises from improper neutralization of input when configuration values from the /api/config endpoint are inserted directly into HTML attribute values without escaping, allowing injection of HTML attributes. Although JavaScript execution is blocked by the server's Content Security Policy (CSP), the injected attributes can manipulate element styling, enabling UI redressing attacks. The main attack vector is importing a malicious teleporter backup, which circumvents per-field server-side validation. This vulnerability has been fixed in Pi-hole version 6.5.
