Description
CVE-2026-35208 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the lichess-org lila platform. Approved streamers can inject arbitrary HTML into the /streamer page and the homepage Live streams widget by placing markup in their Twitch or YouTube stream title. Although a Content Security Policy (CSP) blocks inline script execution, the vulnerability still allows server-side HTML injection. To become an approved streamer, an account must be older than 2 days with at least 15 games or be verified/titled, and then receive moderator approval. The vulnerability affects versions prior to commit 0d5002696ae705e1888bf77de107c73de57bb1b3 and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (medium severity).
