CVE-2026-34241: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Ctrlpanel-gg panel
CtrlPanel is open-source billing software for hosting providers. Versions 1.1.1 and prior contain a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ticket reply notification system. Unsanitized reply content ($newmessage) is stored directly in database notification payloads and later rendered unescaped via Blade's {!! !!} syntax in the recipient's browser. The flaw exists in both App\Notifications\Ticket\Admin\AdminReplyNotification (triggered when a user replies, targeting admins) and App\Notifications\Ticket\User\ReplyNotification (triggered when an admin replies, targeting users), allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim's session context. A low-privileged attacker can exploit this to hijack admin sessions, harvest credentials via fake login prompts or keyloggers, and escalate privileges by performing administrative actions on the victim's behalf. The reverse path also enables a malicious or compromised admin to target regular users in the same manner. This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CtrlPanel-gg panel versions prior to 1.2.0 have a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in the ticket reply notification system. The issue arises because reply content ($newmessage) is stored unsanitized in the database and rendered unescaped using Blade's {!! !!} syntax in notifications sent to admins and users. This allows low-privileged attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of victims' sessions, potentially hijacking admin sessions or compromising user accounts. The flaw affects both directions of communication between users and admins. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-34241 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.7 (high severity).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim’s browser session, leading to session hijacking, credential theft via fake login prompts or keyloggers, and privilege escalation through unauthorized administrative actions. Both admins and users can be targeted depending on the direction of the notification. This can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and data within the CtrlPanel environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability has been fixed in CtrlPanel version 1.2.0. Users should upgrade to version 1.2.0 or later to remediate this issue. Since the product is not a cloud service and no official patch link or advisory is provided, upgrading to the fixed version is the recommended action. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the fix is included in version 1.2.0.
